Next to nothing useful to take from this book. I had 2 sentences of useful notes at the end of it.

It essentially boils down to 'work harder and work longer', saying that good managers are rewarded when they put in the grind for results regardless of their staff. Work 100% of the time you are at work and don't be lazy, as if successful management is all about performance and results and nothing to do with interpersonal relationships and building rapport. It has guidance on how to get the most from your employees by giving them responsibility and trust but then says you should constantly work over time to over-achieve - as if creating a culture of over working has ever been a good thing and not just led to presenteeism.

I stopped when it was advising that you should be flatly refusing to hire anyone who suggests they want a healthy work life balance because they are evidently lazy and not-committed. Follow this advice and you'll not be a manager anyone in wants to work for.

It's also a poor recording - you can hear the echo in the room and papers shuffling around. But that's the least of it.
