I'm not a manager. Still, I have found your podcast to be invaluable in developing efficient work habits and communication skills. I have downloaded all of your shows and am slowly working though each and every one of them. Keep up the good work!

Arildjensen- Thanks for the kind

Arildjensen-

Thanks for the kind words! Manager Tools is for people in your role, as well. Much of being a manager is about being a good communicator and being an overall contributor to organizational success.

It's a privilege to serve you; let us know how we can help you.

Great stuff guys - keep it coming.

Great stuff guys - keep it coming. I've shared some of your podcasts with my CEO and suggested that maybe we work this into our management training program for the entire management staff (~60 people). I dont think our managers have received formal training in any of the areas that you've covered in the podcasts.

I look forward to each week's presentation and have listened to several more than once!

Gentleman, You need to write a book!

Gentleman,

You need to write a book! I love the podcasts but being able to reach for a book as a quick reference would be invaluable. I think both you have great ability to distill problems/issues to a few core principles. A book focused on core management principles and career advancement would be great.

I would buy one!

thanks,

Mark, Thank you so much for making

Mark,

Thank you so much for making this list of books you feel are important. It would be wonderful (I think) if you could keep an updated list of books whom you both think are worth reading, as a young, non-manager, I do my learning through your podcast and the books you recommend and hope to one day be in management.

Bryan- Thank you for your kind

Bryan-

Thank you for your kind words, AND for the suggestion. The book list is something we have lagged on. I am still reading, and haven't kept this list as up to date as I could.

We'll do better in 2008.
