No more excuses...  2008-01-17
This is a delightful book with a very clear, easy to follow message to help anyone become a self leader. Blanchard identifies the different types of power that each person can possess and shows how to use it to become an effective leader, regardless of your position within the company. Using the situational self leadership model, the story very clearly illustrates how to get away from being a victim and blaming others to becoming a leader and accepting responsibility.
This book is a very easy read with useful information for everyone.
good book!  2007-07-09
very eye opening. I hope it will increase my effectiveness and it has increased my awareness.
good concept but.... 2007-01-10
The idea behind increasing effectiveness is a good one. There were times that I was able to incorporate the ideas into the situations here in an optical office. There were more times however, that the events just do not unfold as you would hope. It is as this point that the book's offered guidelines become faint and you may find yourself deeply in, and feel like you are starting over.
Worked in conjunction with the other Minute Manager books your business self is improved. The earlier books were more helpful than this addition to the series on their own. This edition just does not stand up by itself.
Eliminating Victimization 2006-09-05
One of the main problems with most organizations is the amount of victimization throughout; blaming everything and everybody for ones problems. In delightful story form, this book shows how one can go from being a victim to self leader. The book gets at the very foundational factors that allow us to learn and grow and shows how we can use our power to lead ourselves and others. It is a must-read for everyone.
Simply Amazing! 2006-06-08
I selected a variety of management books to browse at a local bookstore. This was the second book I picked up from the stack and I didn't get to any of the others. I couldn't put it down. Because it was such a quick and easy read, I finished it in the store!
When I finished I felt better about myself, my position at my newly formed software company, and how to push through to complete my large goal list. I will definitely be adding this book to my library. My friends and coworkers will be receiving copies as well.
