The Magic of the OK Box
It can be a complex business managing people at work – unless of course you have had the chance to read David Drennan’s latest book on the subject. Then you will know just what makes the difference between a good people manager and a great one.
The book tells the story of a young manager sent by his company early in his career to learn the true fundamentals of great people management from people who really know. Not only does he learn the crucial principles there from the resident Professor, he gets to talk to many different managers about just how they put the principles to work in their different companies. He has never heard it all made so clear and simple before. But he thinks he’s never going to manage in the same way again.
What a refreshing and straightforward approach to the challenges of effective people management! Its focus on just three key principles makes it easy to remember and then apply. The practical examples come from many years of successful continuous involvement in some of the world’s best-known organisations.

“Wow! I read this little management book and was totally blown away. The best book I have read on simplifying your way through the jungle of good management. A world class read on the subject of people management. Get a copy as soon as you can!”
Eric Kent, Director, EK Inspection Services Ltd
This book really succeeds in clearly conveying the basic principles of successful management. But it’s not a heavy management tome. Professor Drennan – based on his extensive personal experience – has reduced these principles to a simple, easily memorised format which will no doubt change the way you manage. Great book.
Hugh Palmer, Director, Mars Group
