Customer Reviews

Look beyond the story.

I just ordered more copies for our front line supervisors. I loved the ideas taught in the book. However, the story format does not appeal to everyone. I recommend that even if you don't like the story format, that you pick this up. It is a quick read and it can change the way you look at your whole operation.

Fun, interesting to read

This was the most fun book to read regarding on how to be a good manager! It has a no nonsense look on how to improve your organizational skills. I highly recommend this book to read.

So Simple- so perfect, why isn't everyone doing this?

I was blown away. This easy-to-read book is a salvation and a demonstration that complicated problems sometimes only require simple answers. The concepts that are described reaffirm your intuition and gently challenge your comfort zone as a manager. I think that if you're willing to be open to change, the changes that are laid out within Buried Alive! are impactful and will achieve nearly immediate results. Outstanding concepts, simple to understand, easy to implement. I'm very impressed and will recommend the book to anyone who wants to improve their organization from top down or bottom up.
