Query: Excellent book

If you are in a leadership/management position you need to read this book. The subtitle could read "How not to be a PHB." The pointy-haired boss loves to do management for the sake of management. This book would likely shock many managerial types with statements like "planning is an ineffective way to bring change," but when presented with the facts (and research) anyone with basic cognitive skills will see the statement is correct.With 33 short chapters, the book is an easy read. Farson presents the material, not to teach some new skill, but to educate. With the exception of some poor examples, he does a great job getting the points across.
