Late to the Party

October 21st, 2005 by Hal

Business 2.0 is one of my favorite magazines. They have a way of breaking great stories and introducing topics from new perspectives. In June this year their cover story was The CEO's Secret Handbook. They broke the story of a CEO's advice to managers in his firm. Everywhere I looked someone else picked up the story. There were so many stories I decided not to write about it. I took another look. The advice works for project managers and leaders just as it does for division managers.

Read the rest of the story Bill Swanson's 25 Unwritten Rules of Management.
