Okay, so this management classic is short, written in larger
font, and generally (on the surface, at least) rather simplistic. However,
as much as you may scoff at these factors, this is a serious book (for new
and more experienced managers alike) on how to maintain productive
relationships with those whom you lead. As techies, most of us want authors to
"get to the point" and that's exactly what Blanchard and Johnson
have done. Yes, their three major concepts are presented in the form of a story,
but isn't that how we remember things more easily? So, if you don't
want to make the investment in this book, check it out of the library, or better
yet, go to the library and sit down for half an hour and read it. It won't be
a waste of your time, IF you pay attention and put these concepts into actual
practice.
