Publisher's Summary

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.

An unfair advantage to new business owners

Very few business books have brought out so many emotions.
From nodding in agreement, smiling at the sarcasm, grining from ear to ear at the absurdity of situations Dan and or his business clients have found themselves in, to being concerned and deeply worried of behaviours I have never even thought about that could potentially be true and finally to optimism from Dan's many recommendations on systems and techniques that if applied consistantly will continue to improve, grow and add value to my business.

Worth it for the gold you'll find

There's no getting around this is a long listen, you need to commit to finishing it. You probably won't agree with everything Dan discusses or his opinions. But you will definitely take away enough nuggets of gold to dedicate the time required to listen. I found his No BS approach refreshing and cuts through most of the prevailing 'wisdom' in management theory (and practice!) in the corporate world I personally see most days.
