Here is the screen shot showing the books number one rank for Organizational Change and Management. It is also in the top ten for short reads in business and money.  Thank you to everyone who got a copy. It makes me happy to know this is a topic that people are interested in .

My newest book “Do We Need Managers?” has been published in print and on Kindle.

So many companies are experimenting with complete self-management. There are regular news reports of yet another company throwing out all the managers. While I have certainly seen plenty of bad managers in my career, I am not convinced that management is inherently bad. So I decided to take a balanced look at all management roles.

This small book is an exploration of the role of manager – line manager, middle manager, and executive. It answers a number of questions:

• How and why did the various kinds of managers come about?
• What was their purpose?
• Does that purpose exist today?
• Does it make sense to get rid of all the managers?
• How many managers do we really need?
• What do managers do that hurt the company?
• What can managers do to be of real value to the company?

For the launch of this book, I am offering it free on Kindle on June 19, 20, and 21, 2018. I’ll update this post with a direct link to the book the morning of June 19.

Here is the link: http://bit.ly/needManagers

Be sure it shows $0.00 to buy. I have attached a screen shot that shows where they put the purchase price (Amazon promotes Kindle unlimited so much that the actual sales price is a bit hard to find).

If you do read it, I’d love it if you leave a review on Amazon.

Thanks!
