Recommendation
Fredmund Malik, an Austrian management expert, eviscerates much of common practice in large corporations without seeming angry, just a bit cantankerous. Malik’s take on meetings? Get rid of them. Performance reviews? Twaddle. Managers’ pep talks aimed at building enthusiasm? Don’t waste your time. Malik pokes holes in conventional wisdom and offers actionable, commonsense alternatives. Managers who’d like to rethink ordinary practices will relish his guide. The original edition, published in German, is a management classic.

Comment on this summary
I was looking for the "Tasks of the Manager" - these are missing here, but are in the German version. Any chance of updating this summary to include what the non-German speakers are missing out?
