The myth of management tackles some of the questions and myths people have baout management...long hours, hiding emotions for example. I feel that Stefan and Cary fielded the material well .

There are points provided by the author that I don’t agree with. However, there are many arguments that I would totally agree.

Sadly my download of this book only worked across the first part of the book, the second half didn’t work.. The part i did get to read was great. i would have no problem recommending it

Dare to be a Daniel,
Dare to stand alone,
Dare to have a purpose firm,
Dare to make it known!

I read books about management because I hope I will become one one day. I am fully aware that I will most likely make mistakes as one, and will need to find my own management style to succeed. Still I also want to learn from other people who have already made mistakes and learned from them, therefore I read self-help books concerning managing.

I had hopes for this book, that it would debunk some of the thing I am scared about as I think of a future in management. But I was really disappointed about the myths in this book. Most of them I take as common sense in a work environment, others I have never even heard about or considered. But I think this might be a cultural thing or maybe it is because of my age. In the future I think I will read management books written by Norwegians or someone who are familiar with the Norwegian work culture.

If I look past my disappointment of the content of the book, it is nicely written and have a lot of good points. It looks like the authors have taken their time in the research and are familiar with management them self. Therefore I do not find it a waste of read, and I used the book to practice my professional English.
