Book Reviews of Tony Soprano on Management: Leadership Lessons Inspired by America's Favorite Mobster
Book Review: I Love This Boook... And It Works
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this book. The broad-but-specific advice impacts every sphere of management, from meetings (standups, downs, the business chat, the "we suck " meeting") to team building (aka busting balls and building teams). There are Caremela's recipes for managing up, who moved my sense of humor, how to instill values, why "you can't just whack 'em, a mindset-shifting chapter on vision, rules to remember, even worksheets to figure it all out. It's working. In just 7days.. this book has helped me work faster and manage better.
Book Review: Save your business!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have friends and family in the business worlds, all managers, and after giving them this book, I'm happy to report, they've had conversion experiences. They all want to be Tony, without the bloodshed, of course. For anyone bewildered by the mad scrum of business world, this is a must, hard truth and real entrepreneurial wisdom in this book. Go out and get it!Book Review: LOL and Learn Something at the same time
Summary: 5 Stars
Great book which will have you laughing all the way to your MBA. Full of insight into running a team, division, company or your family. Scneider hits a home run.Book Review: This book surprised me
Summary: 4 Stars
Anthony Schneider's "Tony Soprano on Management" really changed my mind. I am very sceptical about drawing serious conclusions from pop culture, and find the show, anyway, pretty mindless. So I questioned the basic premise. But this book made a believer of me. Mr Schneider manages to draw wisdom, leadership exemplars and relevant people skills from an unlikely source. There's a nice tongue-in-cheek flavor, so that the book manages to give advice without taking itself too seriously. This is a useful book -- I found myself learning lessons that apply equally in the workplace, and in everyday life.Book Review: Smart, Funny, Revelatory
Summary: 5 Stars
At the end of this smart and funny book, Schneider gets serious and tells us why America and American companies need a new breed of leaders. A 2002 poll found that 3 in 4 of us think that corporate executives take improper actions. Meanwhile, many companies aren't performing well and the companies in the spotlight (Enron, Haliburton) are examples of what not to do. Uncle T. is a better example. He really is. He gets it right. Tony Soprano has vision and values (apart from clipping people), fealty to people, the ability to think fast and act decisively, even the way he's pushy with employees and business associates are guides for a new generation of leaders. Leader and future leaders, take note, this book is as good a roadmap as you're likely to find.
