What should I do?

Robert Heller is a leading authority on management consulting. In this practical guide, he shows us how to make effective decisions. This will allow you to identify your own decision making style. "Always try to balance an intuitive hunch with sound logical analysis." -pg. 10 "Encourage people to speak out by praising, not damning, new ideas." -pg. 29 I felt this book has some great ideas for encouraging the creative process. I also loved the point which stated: "Be prepared to accept people's advice if you have asked for it." -pg. 24. It is so annoying to be asked for an idea, only to have your creative idea disregarded or worse, completely rejected. Are you thinking about who will be affected by your decision? Does your staff have the information they need to make the tough decisions? I really enjoyed reading this book and felt it would help managers to promote a team environment. People are creative and when you allow them to give you input, you just can't help but gain their respect and admiration. When you make your employees feel appreciated, that is a key to your success. ~The Rebecca Review
