Karen K, Reviewer
This book is aimed squarely at start up businesses that are starting to grow and employ staff and need to start considering people management and leadership.
It is peppered with case studies and divided into sections such as growing your business, recruitment, performance management etc. so can be read in chunks as you find the section you need at the time rather than needing to complete as one read.
It really is difficult to put into one book all the best tips and ideas on such a broad topic like people management, and I think the author has given it a good try. As stated, the focus of this book is on entrepreneurs and start ups, but I think at times the audience wasn't considered and the content was more for bigger, or more mature, businesses. There were also some strong opinions that I didn't necessarily agree with (such as having a strict agenda with no "general business" for meetings. I understand the reasons given, but I also feel like this can stifle innovative thought and creative thinking if no-one can talk off agenda).
In summary, a good little read to have in your arsenal if you have a small business and no HR support and no clue as to what you need to do when it comes to people management basics. You may just find a few tips that really make a difference to your business, until you can engage a HR consultant to help you drive performance and profitability.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a free advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.
