Look, everyone knows the management buzzwords. We must embrace change; we must empower the employees; we must listen; we must plan; we must maintain focus. If everyone were doing it, a lot of people would be a lot less dissatisfied. The problem is, you may not know how your behaviour makes you a less effective manager.
The stories in this book (all true) tell about companies where they've got it right and companies where someone is clueless. When you recognize your own behaviour and realise (as you've never realised it before) how you've been sabotaging yourself, you've taken the first step toward fixing it.
I don't usually like to read books on how to improve my business style, and this book taught me why, and why I'm hurting myself instead of allowing myself to grow. It was a real pleasure to read, I've got a few action items to work on, and I'm going to approach future books on this topic with a whole different attitude.

The more clearly you can know what doesn't work, the greater clarity you can have about what works.
You will find it refreshing to hear the thoughts of someone who understands management mess-ups and can shed light on 57 pitfalls you can avoid in an engrossing fun read that pushes his points home through powerful stories.
Instead of just walking you through the fog produced by problems, Eppler helps you clear the air with his Turning Failure into Victory at the end of each of the 57 pitfalls.
