Book Reviews of Ben Franklin's 12 Rules of Management
Book Review: Extremely valuable but often obvious insights
Summary: 4 Stars
If someone were to ask me to name the 10 best management books ever written I would not include this as one. However, there are certainly keen and often overlooked observations made by both the author and by Benjamin Franklin himself.I would offer that this book should be read as a supplement to other more concisely written texts. Whereas many other management books offer clear guidelines and strategies to apply to present day situations this one is more concerned with enumerating principles and then evaluating them in both colonial and modern day contexts. But the author does a very good job of not emphasizing the literal interpretation of some of the principles put forth. Rather, he states Mr. Franklin's principles and then explores scenarios that demonstrate their validity.
Well worth reading just not necessarily the best.
