Title:  On Managing
Author:  Mark H. McCormack
Stars:  ***

The author, former chairman and founder of International Sports Marketing
firm IMG, covers much ground in this manager’s guide, offering
suggestions on a comprehensive list of topics to include: making tough
decisions, hiring and keeping the best talent, cost cutting, handling bad
news, making meetings more effective, and much, much more.

The author uses interesting anecdotes to explain his tips, and each
chapter is summarized nicely with a list of “McCormack’s Rules.” Readers
will not agree with McCormack on all points, but there is enough sound,
generic management advice to make this one a worth while read for
managers of all levels.
