Rules & Tools for Leaders: From Developing Your Own Skills to Running Organizations of Any Size, Practical Advice for Leaders at All Levels
Rules and Tools for Leaders offers insightful and useful advice that avoids the flavor-of-the-month management theories that are long on speculation and short on practical application.
This is a fully revised, updated, and reorganized edition of a classic management handbook. It never loses sight of the big picture of how any company should operate. It provides useful and time-tested advice that can be implemented immediately to the benefit of the entire organization. From defining the qualities of outstanding leaders to putting good leadership skills into practice, from managing yourself and others to handling the difficult tests that leadership brings, this book includes valuable checklists and reviews. In addition, it highlights some of the best leadership programs and presents a host of compelling and instructive anecdotes that illustrate the ideas throughout.

I first encountered this book as a college textbook in the early '90s. Since then, I have found this book so useful in my own that I have given it to several colleagues who have been moving into leadership positions in new organizations.

I'm a skeptic by nature. With all the leadership advice floating around, what makes this author special?
His accomplishments and experience does. Look him up.
He is definitely qualified and this book is chock-full of valuable insights and principles.
I borrowed it from the library and it has now earned a place on my permanent bookshelf. Don't even bother to borrow it. Just buy it now.

Had to read for class, would not recommend unless you are unable to think for yourself. Information is obvious and not very informative.
