Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Management Tips
Harvard Business Review · 2011
66/100
👎 Skip It
The HBR brand guarantees a certain floor of quality, and the three-part structure — yourself, your team, your business — gives it enough shape to be genuinely useful as a quick-reference grab. But tips-only formats sacrifice depth, attribution is inconsistent, and there is no sustained argument or framework to build on. If you already have a handful of solid management books, this adds marginal value; if you are new to management, you will outgrow it fast.
