Synopsis
Not since Benjamin Franklin penned Poor Richard's Almanac has the world seen a more avid, committed, and talented aphorist than Frank McNair. And it's never seen one who looks so sharply and wittily at the world of work. Now, McNair crystallizes the complex tasks of people management into 119 practical, memorable maxims that you can put to instant use - or store away to meet future challenges.

About the Author
Frank McNair (Winston-Salem, NC) is president of the public speaking firm McNairspeaks and partner of the consulting and training firm LTM Associates. Before setting up his own companies, he held sales and marketing positions with Douglas Battery Company, L'eggs Products, Inc., and R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company.
Reviews
Most collections of aphorisms and maxims seem designed only to serve up feel-good nostrums. Although McNair, too, includes a fair share of oft-repeated bromides, many of his insights are meant to make managers squirm. McNair himself is a former corporate manager who now heads his own public-speaking firm and is a partner in a training and consulting business. Observations such as "Pay attention to the middle," "What you count is what you get," and "Ignoring poor performance is the same as applauding it" may spark a flash of recognition in some managers and start them thinking about problems and solutions. McNair groups his maxims into categories such as vision, planning, motivation, expectations, coaching, feedback, performance management, rewards and consequences, and leadership. He also summarizes the meaning and explains the implication of each of his messages. David Rouse
