# Comments on management books

In a [previous post](http://spierzchala.typepad.com/lost_below_the_49th/2004/12/management_book.html), I discussed that I was reading some management books to get an insight into the other side of the company. I have finished [Hope is Not a Strategy](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?tag=performance03-20&path=tg%2Fdetail%2F-%2F0071418717%2Fqid%3D1102887911%2Fsr%3D8-1%2Fref%3Dpd_csp_1%3Fv%3Dglance%26s%3Dbooks%26n%3D507846) finally. Interesting, but no new revelations. The war stories are the most interesting part of the whole book. The approach to sales in common-sensical, but much too hard for most folks in this day of instant gratification.
