As the review by the student observes, this book is a practical handbook that students use and keep. Students have had nothing but high praise. It is not academic in the sense of its readability and format. It can be custom-published for your school. Contact me at my email address.

I'm a programming student who had to take management courses to fufill silly requirements. This book is the only book from any mgmt course I've taken that will continue to get used. It presents things very clearly, and gives wonderful examples. Not much theory, so it's actually useful.

This is an ideal book to the person who wants to grab the basic principles of supervision. It is a good book to read before an examination.

I am satisfied with the book because of the way the material is presented. Case studies are good and help to understand the basics of supervision.

Supervisor's Survival Kit: Your First Step Into Management is a very well written educational manual for current managers looking for a strategic edge and students currently involved in business related courses. I had to use this manual for an internship during my fall term of 2000 at Central Michigan University. The contains over 13 in depth chapters that classify as lite to moderate reading. The literature is well written by Mr. Elwood N. Chapman and Mr. Cliff Goodwin and is very capable of holding the readers interest and communicating the importance of proper management techniques in the workforce. The concepts contained in each chapter stress the importance of time management, communication skills, and the ability to train employees and solve problems under various conditions and constraints. At the end of each chapter are a series of essay questions that ask the reader to provide detailed management concepts and strategies through the material covered in the chapter. The questions are also well written and designed because they force the reader use ideas and concepts they develop for themselves after reading the material. I would recommend this book to students studying in the business field and anyone else that is looking to gain a positive and succesful edge in their current management position

IF Attitude is indeed the major key in achieving anything in life, then when You and I are being told that we should work at developing the right attitude, we should pay attention, and follow through. Thank you, Mr Chapman

I have read the 1993 3rd edition several times. This is more than a finalncial planning book. It provides information on time management, wellness, and human support systems in planning for personal fulfillment in retirement.

A must have for the newly promoted.

This workbook doesn't help anyone learn how to lead. It merely gives tests to indicate whether you already are or are not a leader. I had to complete this workbook as a pre-req to some leadership training I underwent recently. Many of the suggestions that Chapman makes for leaders to be successful simply aren't realistic. Further, he does not provide any documented processes or methods for the reader to adopt. The case studies are laughable and hardly representative of the real world! Just another 'quick fix' read for organizations that want to believe they're providing their employees with something of substance. Better luck next time...?
