First sentence: ONE OF THE MOST OFTEN-CITED BOOKS on personal leadership is Steven Covey's Seven Habits of Highly Effective People (1989), which is based on a set of principles that emphasize the importance of character and responsibility.
Description: "Flawed Advice and the Management Trap: How Managers Can Know When They're Getting Good Advice and When They're Not is the first book to show how and why so much of today's business advice is flawed, and how managers and executives can better evaluate advice given to their firms.".

"Applying a disciplined critique to numerous representative examples of advice about leadership, learning, change, and employee commitment, Argyris shows readers how to be more critical of the advice they are given, how to learn new approaches for appraising employee performance, and how to generate an internal commitment to values and better strategy."--BOOK JACKET.
