The Effective Manager by Mark Horstman

4.0

It’s the first of this sort of book I read and i realise there are many things i did not know. In this sense the book must be good because it hilights areas I had not even taken into consideration. On the down side the book is long, uses internal jargon, keeps referring to external resources like podcasts. I feel like I got some sense of their advice but I am not sure I know the practicality because the examples chosen are a bit on the ideal side.

The book basically applies loose CBT to management. And emphasises free exchange of information, regular feedback, focusing on what you and your directs can become rather than blame and regrets.
