Although the format is a little cheesy (with the lessons presented as dialog between managers), the content, structure and organization of the book is great for new managers. The examples are fairly realistic, and the breakdown of basic skills is appropriate for those new to supervising workers.

A "First Aid Kit" for the new manager

Helped the first time I opened the cover. Gave me a check list of items to consider, cut my response time to write the report and made it fairly painless.

It sits in my drawer like a personal mentor, gives me a little directional steering to cover all the issues.
