Just FYI, the link to Oops at Amazon doesn't seem to work, and when I do search it out, I find it isn't on the Kindle (actually I use my iPhone as a Kindle).

A management practice that should probably be stopped is limiting the ways that a book may be consumed...

Guess that makes "Oops!" exactly the right title for this blog entry, ey?

LOL.

I can't say much. I still forget to attach the attachments to emails after writing the message saying "see attachment."

Sheez. "Ya buy 'em Kindles and ya' buy 'em Kindles..."

Ben - I believe I fixed the link. I can't speak for when or if it may be available on the Kindle. If the link in the post still isn't working for you, try this:

I work for the publisher. The book will be available on Kindle by mid summer. In the meantime visit Aubrey's blog (www.aubreydanielsblog.com). If you don't want to read the book in hard copy go there and you'll find podcasts on the 13 practices and video clip interviews with Aubrey.

I was lucky enough to get a copy from Aubrey himself.

This is a book that gives you practical insight into why these practices often fail. I was able to apply this insight to other practices in my company and come up with ways to improve.

This is not a book of theory and academics, it's all data-based evaluations of why certain actions work and why others fail.

Aubrey's clear expertise at analyzing business practices is demonstrated in each chapter. And in each chapter he reveals to the reader how you can think the same way.

Through these examples of common practices, this book teaches you how to evaluate what you do as a manager and as a leader. I found this to be an entertaining and enlightening book that helps me be a better leader in my organization.

Highly recommended.
