Seven Deadly Sins Of Management

Book excerpt: A light and easy read with some serious and heavyweight messages, 'Seven Deadly Sins' is a 'must read' for all managers, would-be managers, management teachers, students of management and shareholders. In it the author explores some of the behavioural characteristics in management that can lead to sub-optimal financial performance and undermine both reputation and shareholder value. He supports his contentions by using examples from well publicised and high profile corporate events alongside personal insights and experiences from his interesting and varied career. The book offers food for thought for shareholders, both large and small, and for the managers who perpetrate the seven deadly sins.
