Hey listen if you want a short book about generalizations that you already know then get this book. If you feel like you have fallen off track then maybe this would be a good review. This book contains information you already know.

Pretty good. There were some good points and advice, but for a typical upper manager, there is a lot in there that is obvious. For example, there is a section on how you need to be a "good listener" or not be condenscending. This would be a good resource for those that are not in management positions but that could use management skills in their positions. Information regarding teamwork is good.

Carnegie, Dale

"Dale Carnegie is a self-help book author. Read a review of his self-help classic, How To Win Friends and Influence People .

Born in 1888 in Maryville, Missouri, Carnegie was a poor farmer's boy, apparently not seeing a train until he was twelve years old. In his teens, though still having to get up at 3 am every day to milk his parents' cows, he managed to get educated at the State Teacher's College in Warrensburg. His first job after college was selling correspondence courses to ranchers, then he moved on to selling bacon, soap and lard for Armour & Company. He was successful to the point of making his sales territory, south Omaha, the national leader for the firm. "
