Title: The science and formulas needed to create a winning organization and culture by bringing out the best in people
Review: I love this book because it explains the WHY behind good management. I know what happens when I use positive, immediate consequences, and I see what happens if I use threats or positional authority. This book explains the science of why different consequences provide different results. It also explains the power of discretionary effort. There are so many books that explain techniques. This book goes far beyond those as it describes the principles underlying all techniques. Once you understand the principles it is easy to understand why some things work and others fail miserably. Very good book. The biggest trouble you will have is deciding where to start in the application of the science. There are so many processes that can be improved.

Title: An absolute must-read for those responsible for optimizing performance
Review: I read this book many years ago, early in my career, and found it an excellent, practical and useful guide to leadership and personnel management. The tips from this book served as the foundation for many successes based on the concepts provided. Now, years later in retirement, and also having authored several of my own leadership books, I often recommend this book to those I career coach and mentor. In fact, seeing that this book has been updated, I downloaded the digital version and re-read the whole book one more time. I also browsed through his book that I also purchased years ago, "Other People's Habits," and loved it one more time.

Title: Absolutely amazing!
Review: My husband has managed and is the head of his department with his company...this has helped him greatly in his leadership with his employees.Highly recommend to any and everyone. I’m finding it’s pretty much the key to understanding people and personalities and how to improve negative situations and turn them into positive ones.A very healthy formula for anyone to bring in positive outlooks when dealing with negative ones.

Title: Best Management Book
Review: This is my favorite management book I have read. It encompasses other books with science to give the context of why certain things work. Using the techniques in this book are not necessarily easy but they are effective. I love the methodology and know it can work! Transformational.

Title: Over Baked
Review: I am a fan of Aubrey’s Oops! book and decided to read this. Although it definitely has good information it’s about 30% too long with unnecessary chapters and mightily redundant at times. Last, as a proofing note he should replace the overuse of “Because” with “Since” when opening a sentence or other declarative that isn’t answering a question.

Review: Honestly, I had medium expectations for this book. I am a huge advocate for positive reinforcement and it's effectiveness but needed some business context for a workshop I was doing. I wasn't expecting this to be as amazing as it is! I genuinely think it is written in such a way that it could convince your biggest cynic to implement these practices.Buy this for your manager!
