Tresc moze i ok (chociaz dla mnie jakas wtorna wiedza), ale sposob w jaki to jest napisane jest okropny. Cala otoczka fabularna sprawia ze mam wrazenie jakbym czytal ksiazke dla dzieci

This was an interesting read with some excellent principles. The principles are told through story, which I find interesting sometimes but in this case I would have appreciated a little less story. To each their own.

Overall, I'd recommend it. There are two aspects that concern me:

1. This book can be misused/abused by management. A leader/manager could hand this book (or a printout of its principles) to an employee and utilize it as a "get out of jail free card." e.g., if my employee fails it is because they were not a good self-leader, it had nothing to do with my leadership/management of them.
2. The reality of life, imho, is much more gritty and painful than that chronicled here. Like many things in life it is, "easier said than done."

With those two qualifications, I'd still recommend it as valuable read. Anyone have a better alternative?

As simple as The One Minute manager, but unexpectedly several good points there.
