Review of 'Managing for people who hate managing' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I try to avoid this type of books like the plague, but it turns out my equal aversion to management is something I really need to work on. This was the first book I ever read on the subject and I have to say I am impressed. I have no idea if the psychology behind "Thinkers and Feelers" is sound, but this book made me giggle a lot and my expectation of "rolling my eyes at every page" did not materialise. I found the activities interesting (and funny), the message is based on a lot of good sense that sometimes someone else needs to point out to you, and in the end I was encouraged by it, which I believe is the best possible outcome. I gave it 4/5 stars because dragons are never mentioned.
