Very broad overview of management. Broke concepts down into 101 points that were simple to digest.

Amazing book right there....Gave me all the persuasion principles I need to have successful presentations....I mostly discovered that for you to better influence others you need to completely understand them so that you can target your proposals better so they can be better received by them....I also learnt the importance of using the appropriate non-verbal cues and actually learning how to dress the part....Dress as you would like to be addressed....:-)

Blegh. If these books weren't free (read: foisted on me) at work, I would never read them. Why would a 72 page mini-manual actually help me in my daily life? And who buys this stuff? At $10 a pop, that's more than 10 cents a page... (Okay, rant done).
