Book Description:

Get that monkey off your back!

Start with a monkey. It comes from your subordinates shifting their responsibility to you -- until you're working for them! How does the successful manager keep monkeys off his back? In this lively, provocative seminar, two of today's foremost consultants show you:

* How to recognize monkeys before they land on your back
* How to stop your subordinates from imposing unnecessary time demands on you
* Why "an honest day's work for a fair day's pay" does not apply to managers
* The real answer to the Manager's Lament: "where does all the time go?"
* Why you should be on the golf course on Saturday instead of at the office

Be a smarter, tougher and better manager!

Together and separately Kenneth Blanchard and William Oncken have trained and consulted with America's largest corporations. Now they bring their unique style and hard-hitting program to audio -- to help you take charge of your job and your life.

Ken's book is required reading for all of my leadership students and clients who have trouble with taking on everyone else's problems.

Using conversational language, Ken gives the reader simple techniques for reuniting monkeys with their rightful owners.

A must read for everyone in leadership roles.

Rating:

- one simple idea, stretched out
Don't let subordinates dump their problems/responsibilities on you. That's the ENTIRE book. Stretched out just long enough, to rook people out of money. VERY little, for the money.
