Great advice for even the smallest company!

Mr. Bilanich's book says it simply and with useful tools for any size organization. Not the latest fad, just practical and easily incorporated 'secrets' that are the fundamental basics of achieving a high performing organization.

4 secrets of high performing organizations:Beyond the flavor

This book was easy to ready yet full of very good suggestions that can be used on a daily basis. I found myself trying his methods before even finishing the book! It's concise, practical, and a sensible approach to the many issues that face us in our daily business lives. I would recommend it to any manager that wants to increase productivity and motivation with their staff.

"Learn From Someone Who's Actually Been There"

I have known Bud for 20 years and we have worked on projects together, discussing why things worked and why they didn't. This book shows that he's been tracking his own organizational learning and is making that body of knowledge available for others to shorten their own learning curves. If you are a manager, consultant, or trainer, I'd take advantage of the real-life experience reflected in this book. It's an easy way for you and your people to gain a personal edge on high performance through a relaxed, storytelling approach; and, all of the situations will look and feel very familiar to managers and supervisors everywhere.

Practical Management

Mr. Bilanich lays out simple, yet useful management principles for building and sustaining a high performance organization. Written in the style of the "One Minute Manager", the book is a fun and fast read with practical concepts that managers will find easy to implement. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking to quickly pick up immediately useable management ideas - without spending the time it takes to read the more typical, dry and complex modern management practice book. Two thumbs up!!!
