Synopsis

Bruce Feldman, the editor of Harry Says, met Harry years ago when Bruce went to Harry's company to do research for a movie for television. Already a CEO running one of several successful companies he headed over his long career, Harry liked Bruce, and they became good friends. Fascinated by Harry's perceptive but often provocative insights about being a boss, Bruce frequently urged him to write down the things he was saying.Until after Harry died, Bruce thought Harry wasn't interested in the idea. Then Harry's daughter found a small notebook Harry kept in the top righthand drawer of his desk. It was filled with his thoughts, a note telling her to give it to Bruce, and a note to Bruce saying he could do with it whatever he wanted as long as he didn't use his real name. Designed to resemble Harry's original notebook, Harry Says is the result.

About this title

From the Publisher:

Harry Says reproduces the notebook containing the private, random thoughts of a successful boss that he kept over the years. Smart, funny, and sometimes politically incorrect, this easy-to-read book is reassuring bosses around the country that the challenges they face are not unique.

From the Inside Flap:

Harry Says is a refreshingly candid glimpse into the mind of a successful boss. If you manage people, you will probably find yourself nodding in agreement and laughing at a lot of Harry’s observations. If you prefer books that offer modern management theories on team-building and empowerment, you could be shocked by much of what Harry has to say. On the other hand, Harry’s candor might just offer new perspectives on the age-old problems of being a boss.
