Resumen del Editor

What does it really take to get productivity from people and, by doing so, maximum profits for your business?

With a nod to Jeff Bezos, Steve Jobs, Walt Disney, and other ruthless yet highly successful managers, Dan S. Kennedy delivers the answer. In this new edition, Kennedy expands on his proven (if radical) strategies to get accountability, profitability, and productivity from employees.

In his traditional "No B.S." style, Kennedy kicks traditional leadership and management ideas squarely in the teeth with a realistic, straightforward assessment of the real relationship between business owners and their employees. Uncompromising strategies help managers gain iron-fisted control and get the results they demand. This take-no-prisoners advice liberates entrepreneurs to act in their best interests and insist on implementation of their objectives. And it leads to a cooperative, high-performance team when traditional textbook methods fail.

Topics include learning how to hire profitable employees, taking home as much money as possible, making every employee's job a profit center, managing the powerful force of word of mouth, compressing the time between idea and action for maximum profits, and posing questions to individuals that force them to think and improve productivity.

As a fan of Dan Kennedy, I found this to be in line with all I respect about Him. They must was in for every business owner.

Great real-talk about business and employees

As a business owner, sometimes you need to get the wake-up call and this is it. Great principles to think about in everyday business and working with employees. Not the sugar coated B.S. you get in other books.

Awesomeness!

very clear concise on business and things needed to improve. so good that I'm re listen to program to catch the many nuggets!

Great book

Powerful book. Logical and anything but run of the mill. Calls out academics that don’t know much.

Managing for Profit

I used this to manage myself first. This empowered me to better manage others.

One of Dan’s favorite principles from “Think and Grow Rich” is that if ACCURATE THINKING. That focus is transferred here.

Read it. Apply it.

(I encourage you to get a copy of the paperback too.)

No BS

Good listening while doing yard work

I’ve read the book at least twice and several others. The audio book was a good refresher. I listened to it while working in the yard over several weekends. Definitely worth the listen.

Good overall book

I think this was a good overall book about managing if you have a small business. Probably not great if you work in corporate America.
