This is one of the first self-help books I read written by an Indian author. The author shares a few management and productivity tactics in this book.
This book will be a decent choice if you are new to the world of self-help books and management. Some of the skills mentioned by the author are a little outdated, though, as this book was first published over two decades ago.
A simple and motivating narration from Arindam on how to manage people and organisations well..
My GoodReads rating 3/5
My learning: (1) If there is anything worthwhile to be done, then it must be done with passion. (2) A boss and an employee put together knows more than the boss. Learn to listen to your team (3) Be not afraid of growing slowly, be only afraid of standing still (4) People are an organisation's only sustainable competitive advantage. (5) Things do not turn up in this world, until someone turns them up. (6) The world stands aside, to let pass the man who know where he is going.
Although the initial chapters were good & inspiring, but successively the author fills the chapters with some high-level management strategies which may not be of interest to the normal reader (including me).
CYCBTH start with examples of some inspirational lives - picked from here and there. The feel-good part is not worth the salt but the subsequent works are incredible. It is a fast read, yet it visits several important subject; keeping language light-handed and at times humorous. The sections on management bring the old school principles like communication and motivation but within entirely new approaches. I particularly liked the LAW of communication; the Saam- Daam- Dand- Bhed theory of management. The best part, for me, though was reserved for the end; where need for an Indian theory of management is raised.
This book has a really shaky start as at times the writer seems pompous. It picks up some pace during the middle but in the end it commits the same mistakes it is trying to point out (of using managerial jargons to seem intelligent).
When it comes to pointing out mistakes in the current system, one can feel that it is coming from someone who doesn't completely understand the system. However, there are sometimes this book tries to achieve something. My 1 extra star is for those 'sometimes'.
This book came to my life, where I was spin-headed, demotivated, spineless. The simple or charged words of arindam chaudhuri eletrified me and gave me a reason to fight back. I owe this book big time.
A management book made exclusively for Indian system. This book would have been more interesting if there are more stories/examples concerning the so called theory 'i' management.
It was an okay book. Essentially a collection of learnings from popular people? And then it had the management theory, which as a student, did not quite interest me.
The ideas are a mix of what you find in many books on management. Some pages are repetitive. What I really enjoyed is the Theory 'i' management, which is an Indian people centric style of management. It really makes sense to develop and practice a style of management that takes into account the Indian psychology and leads people accordingly.
Oh My God ! The first ever management book which I started, managed and completed reading. Thanks it had only 200 pages. I claim it as my first non-story book If the below one is not counted.
Previously I tried to complete Made in Japan by Akio Morita But I couldn't complete reading the book. I crossed 160 pages two times and still it is in my reading list. I have lent this book to my colleague. He too expressed his discomfort in reading such kind of books. Knowledge is sometimes boring for people like me who loves fantasies more than anything else.
About the author: I have liked his page in facebook without knowing about him. And also, I re-called the newspaper ads, where I saw his face frequently. I had a grudge to do MBA but it slowly faded away as I was already a Management Accountant. Then I came to know He was the IIPM man. My friend who was from IIPM has dislikes towards his books as they as students, were forced to read his books.
About the book: The book was moderately well. Since few pages were new to me. I read this book with josh at few places and slept when I felt like too much theory.
I always wanted to manage my own company and I have an urge to become an entrepreneur. I was searching If this book could give out some tips on this. The answer was no.
The book is well suited for people working in organisation. And one could ascertain that each one of us has got a Management style of our own. I could feel that the gap of not pursuing MBA could be filled by reading management related books. But as per Chaudari's theory i management, there is no seperate theory to be followed.
this book is a complete waste.....this is not upto the hype it has....the first chapter is inspiring then from there onwards there is nothing in this book....i think arindham chudari wrote all those reviews saying"best mangement book ever""blah blah" or he might have paid to write those reviews...like the full page iipm ads this book is full of bullshit.if you dare to think beyond CYCBT, then i donno where you gonna end up.....
Interesting only in the beginning. However, 12 years back this book would have been very very interesting.... though some basic management principles and concepts remain the same.
Perhaps there are some gud example of how we can recover from the current dollar crisis if this 'I' principle could be really used to our best advantage.
