Call It Like It Is: Making Things Run Sweetly

After 30 years working with businesses, not-for-profits and governments, Simon Bailey knows that there is not much new in the world. People running organizations make the same mistakes year in and year out. Call It Like It Is takes the reader on a light-hearted journey through the process of planning for, running and eventually leaving a business. By contrast with other business books, this one is light on theory and very much about practice! There are three books in the series. Book Two explores the key issues faced in running an established business, organization or division. It covers the mistakes most people make time and again and shows the reader how not to make them ? or fix them if they already have! Each chapter contains three case studies showing how the theory is turned into practice. The case studies have been designed to provide both specific examples of the theory and more general information about management. Every business owner and manager who doesn?t take themselves too seriously ought to read these books. They are a source of valuable information that is presented simply and in a way that is entertaining rather than complex. The case studies summarize 30 years of work done by someone who is paid thousands of dollars a day to apply this knowledge to organizations ranging from multi-national businesses to small startups. Every employee should read these books - to see just how poorly they are being managed! Enjoy!
