this book was very short and insightful, although I do feel like I already knew most of the things in there just from working at my company and being around managers who were trained by this book (which I guess means they’re doing a good job!)
docking points for both the main character and the manager being men — the only female characters were the manager’s assistant, one worker, and another manager who was not as good as the main manager… I was immediately put off by the whole first section only using he/him pronouns

Recommended by a mentor at work. A bit cringe but I’m trying to see past the shitty writing to the nugget of usefulness.
So glad none of my managers ever touched me on the arm or shoulder when providing praise or criticism at work though. That instruction feels icky and contrived.

Meh, I don't know why I own this book. Was a bit curious and just picked it up today. Some useful insights but 99% fluff, which is kind of ironic.
Really quick read. Packed with loads of useful tips considering its such a short book.

It reads like a children's book but it's not without merit. The message is important, applicable, and—what many negative reviews fail to point out—clearly illustrated. It's short, simple, fully abstracts the mountains of research that these insights were drawn from, and works well for the desired audience. The desired audience being basically every person who has a job or who is considering having a job but is pressed for time and unlikely to pick up or finish a management book written in any other format.
