Summary: Smart Moves for People in Charge
Comment: As other reviewers have said, this book contains a lot of common sense. Unfortunately, most people in charge don't seem to put much of this common sense into practice.
This book is not difficult to read, it really is a collection of individual paragraphs written covering a main heading. Topics range from strategic planning to spontaneous speeches to team buidling and so on. The authors do a decent job of explaining the best way to handle each situation and give practical advice. Again, if only managers would listen and put some into practice.
This is one of those book corporations often give to managers which in turn then tend to gather dust on a bookshelf. But if this book is on your bookshelf, take a moment to look at it, it just might give you some good ideas.

Summary: Two for Two
Comment: This is my second book from Deep and Sussman. Alot like "Yes, you can!" "Smart Moves" help you but does not "treasure map" you with a specific path. The book will guide you at the beginning saying you have multiple ways to "use" the book. The best books in type of genre, are the ones that help you help yourself. Pardon the cliche, but Deep and Sussman have an appeal in their writing that's like a teacher. Like the best teacher you've ever had. One that instead of giving answers, asks you the questions that help you be more internally aware of what you're looking for. Recommended for anyone in business trying to inprove themselves operationally. A great read!

Summary: Just buy it and put it inside your drawer!
Comment: As a middle manager in big conglomerates for a decade (that means I failed to climb to the top), I strongly recommend you to buy the book and put it inside your drawer and not on your table if you want to have some competitive advantages after all. Without exaggeration, the book contains short but highly useful tips or checklists for over 95% of business engagements/tasks I can think of. Some reviewers criticized that the content is mostly common sense stuff. In my experience, the devil is in the details. It's efficient and "safe" to get a quick review of the important points for, say, budget discussion with your boss, interviewing a redundant staff, writing a complaint against your vendor, apologising to an angry customer and so on.
In a word, a must buy, unless you are confident enough to think that you are always on your top shape with perfect bullets and armors, for all situations and every single minute in a business day.

Summary: Never Read It
Comment: Couldn't make it through the book. Mostly common sense. I just needed it for a class. Better books exist on the same subject. Get those instead of this marketing tool.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Must book for anyone living in a dynamic environment
Comment: The guy who recommended this book said he wished he'd had it 20 years earlier in his career. I think he was right. This book is loaded with lists and list of things that you should think about in some situation. Someone has taken the time to itemize the things you should consider in dozens of different situations. Want to improve you customer realations. Take at look at that list and you'll find a lot of things that really make sense. These lists save you the time of trying to figure out what are the attributes if a given situation that you should be looking at. Great book for anyone. You won't use it every day but when you need it, one application of the list can repay you the price of the book many times over.
