The Business Guide to Legal Literacy: What Every Manager Should Know About the Law August 14, 2006
A. Kimrey
This book provides a refreshing perspective of the legal pitfalls that face business managers, sales personnel or anyone within an organization who maintains contact with their customers. The discussion of smoking guns gives clear and concise examples of what not to say or write and provides a means to develop competent communication both with the customer and internal to the company without the "litigation lighning rods" that can happen in our fast-paced business world. This is a must read for business majors entering the workplace, as well as all sales and business managers. The writer has a sense of humor which keeps you turning the page.
Every manager AND lawyer needs this book! February 14, 2009
David J. Spellman (Indiana)
This is a brilliant book and needs to be atop the credenza, within easy reach, of every business executive, manager, AND lawyer in America. The author combines all the best cutting-edge management research available with a superb summary of the current state of the law and she provides a synthesis to help your bottom line. You will learn many practical, step-by-step strategies to seize opportunities, manage risk, and optimize your returns...all by doing the right things in the right ways for the right reasons. [I hope the Enron guys read this book in the prison library!!!]. Every page contains superb advice for Fortune 500 entities as well as start-ups.
For the record I am a lawyer with an LL.M in Tax Law and 29 years of experience in law firms and as a General Counsel.
If you only have time to read one book about the interplay of management and the law: this is THE book.
