Staz, General Manager &amp; Treasurer, Kennebunk Light &amp; Power District “I found Uncomplicating Management to be excellent. <br /><br />VERY well written, very insightful, very detailed. I can’t imagine that there are any better books on this subject. I can honestly recommend this book to anyone.”<br />—Gordon B. Lankton, Chairman of the Board, NYPRO INC.<br /><br />“You have it all—brilliance and simplicity. You’ve got me hooked. I love the ‘differentiate between the bright light and dim glow’ reference.’ I’ve never seen it/heard it before but it made me smile. Th is is such an important topic and seems to have been seriously overlooked in our management practices. You have captured it beautifully<br />in describing how much eff ort and how many resources we put into the creation of systems to trap and punish the poor performers while the stars go under-appreciated. Makes me sit up and take notice.”<br />—Kathy Hessel, Vice President, Human Resources, Carroll Enterprises<br /><br />“Being a person who usually fi nds ‘guru’ books a bit of a yawn, Uncomplicating Management grabbed my attention and I never let it go before I completed it. Several times during the read I found myself looking forward to getting back to work, anxious to roll up my sleeves and applying your advice. Th ank you Rick for showing us a ‘kinder and gentler’ way of managing employees, not only for getting better results, but also highlighting that employees are in fact an organization’s most valuable asset.”<br />—Lyndyn Norgang, RN, Executive Director, Lincoln Home<br /><br />Uncomplicating Management provides a simple leadership approach to managing the people process.
