50 Lessons on Leading for Those with Little Time for Reading Review

Most books on leadership, no matter how smart or trendy they try to be, are ponderous in the prose department. They're usually filled with concepts that are at best hard to grasp and harder to visualize. Mr. Boehlke's book is a refreshing departure from this. First of all, it's a great size (6" x 6"), the size of a cartoon book or whimsical impulse purchase at a Barnes and Noble checkout counter. But here's the thing, not only is it a fun book but one with real meat. It takes a rather unique approach in coming up with original aphorisms about leadership which would stand alone on the page and be entertaining and thoughtful. But the author takes it another step and worked with the graphic design of the statements in ways that make them come alive in the best tradition of pictures being worth 1000 words. Each page presents a little "thought puzzle" that gives the reader the satisfaction of "getting it" and makes the leadership point more memorable. Unlike prose books, this is one where you can pick a random page or read the whole thing many times. More people should "write" like this!

Time Tactics of Very Successful People Review

Time Tactics of Very Successful People

This fine book stands alone as a real "nuts & bolts" guide to time management. Refreshingly, Griessman does not ask the reader to buy into an integrated or even singular "System" of managing your time. There are no self tests, no "12 Step" program, no gimmicks.
Quite simply, this book is about survival. If your boat were sinking or you were lost in the wilderness, the last thing you would want (or have time to read) would be a lengthy treatise on the theory of bouyancy or how people get lost. Rather, Griessman instructs from the outset that you "Learn survival techniques from the survivors."
In this vein, Griessman's approach is decidedly simple: 1)These are successful people; 2) Here are specific tactics that they use to save time and survive; 3) You fill in the blank. This format is woven into 15 short chapters with an accompanying commentary which is almost editorial in nature. This provides just enough cohesion in the book to give it structure, without detracting from its readability.
If you're looking for a lengthy treatise on time management, riddled with charts, self tests and lengthy explanations about why you don't have enough time, then leave this book on the shelf. "Time Tactics" is really a field manual - the same kind of lean, to the point writing you'd hope to find in a life raft.
