Recommendation

Managing By Values uses the same simple, direct story format used in The One Minute Manager and many other Ken Blanchard books. This makes the book easy to follow as it moves from one concept to the next. This book does a good job of presenting the Managing By Values system as an idea that makes sense for a company’s bottom line. It’s great to have a work force that enjoys their jobs, but those jobs won’t last long if a company doesn’t remain profitable. Managing By Values shows that you don’t have to sacrifice profit to increase worker satisfaction and that you don’t have to sacrifice worker satisfaction to increase profit. The MBV process shows that increased worker satisfaction leads to increased profit. getAbstract recommends this book for CEOs and people in senior leadership positions.

Take-Aways

  • The three acts of life are: Achieve, Connect, and Integrate. You must get past the initial act, to achieve in order to develop into someone who manages by values.
  • To become a member of the Fortunate 500, your company needs to address its CEOS: Customers, Employees, Owners and Significant Others.
  • Managing By Values (MBV) is the foundation for addressing those CEOS.
