Make the most of your staff.......2005-06-24
Giesecke and McNeil, both experienced library managers, seek to explain how to create a productive work place. They focus on daily, real-world practices in order to guide supervisors through the intricate process of managing others. They offer specific strategies, tips, and proven advice on such supervisory issues as hiring, firing, interviewing, and training. (summary by South TX Library System)
Most library managers learn management the hard way, through trial and error. It doesn't have to be so hard. I wish I'd had a book like this when I first became a library director.

Expert Advise that is highly readable.......2005-02-10
I couldn't disagree more with the culinary student. Having been a hospitality manager for 15+ years plus a college instructor for 6 years, I found that Miller's advise is dead-on. The cases presented are real world too. Don't be deceived by the readability of this text. It is solid as a rock. He gives practical advise that you can refer to year after year. If you want empty theory, read someone else. If you want to learn from a master, buy this book. Miller is right when he says that management is an art. Whenever you are dealing with people, you can't turn to a formula. If you want science, go study chemistry. This book is about developing practical organizational and supervisory skills. There's nothing fluffy about it.
Enlightening!!.......2002-10-10
You can be the most organized person in the world and you will still run into difficulties when trying to communicate in an effective manner, recruit, train, evaluate performance, discipline, and delegate all at the same time. For anyone, it's a lot to have on your plate. This book makes it seem simple. It offers way to alleviate some of the frustration that comes with the job.
Hospitality Supervision Textbook Package.......2002-01-10
This textbook package contained "Supervision in the Hospitality Industry" 3rd Edition hard cover (ISBN# 0-471-19420-0) and National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation-NRAEF ProMGMT Student Workbook (ISBN# 0471-41305-4). Chapter 9 on performance evaluation was the greatest insight. A great learning tool to help focus my job development within the huge vacation/hospitality employer I work for here in Orlando, Florida.
Disappointing.......2001-07-21
As a culinary student in a reputable institute, I was presented this book to use as a textbook for my business management course. The structure was sufficient, focusing almost exclusively on the hospitality industry, but the content was not. The majority of the book deals with self-evident truths and situations that can best be solved by common sense, but instead Miller voices his opinion that when experience fails you, revert back to the management theories, most of which he denigrates, others that he blatantly misinterprets.
Miller also pens that "management at any level in an art", a statement that many would disagree with and should give some insights as to what the 10th grade, babble-filled prose is all about. For a management book, especially one for $..., I was expecting a more technical approach to managing - theories and illustrations also combined with charts and math, two aspects that are completely vacant in the textbook.
There is a general sense of the grim reality of the hospitality industry that I was relieved to see (two stars). There's mention of the low pay, hard work, and long hours that will inevitably come with the job, and the book maintains that thought throughout. Overall however, it's too much money, and too much time, for reading what I already know.
Book Description
Supervision is growing in importance in all professions as a means of focusing on the personal and vocational skills of the supervisee, as well as a means of supporting them in their work. In this book Mooli Lahad argues that the most effective method of supervision uses both right and left hemispheres of the brain, the intuitive and logical. He encourages the use of metaphors, images and stories to enrich theoretical knowledge and improve our understanding.
In Creative Supervision Lahad introduces techniques, drawn from the expressive arts therapies, which can be employed during a supervision to release information from the creative hemisphere of the brain. These techniques include storytelling, role-playing, guided fantasy, imaginary dialogues, letter-writing, drawing, and the use of colours and shapes. Case examples show how the techniques were used, and how they provided insight into problematic relationships with clients. Drawing from his experiences of working in the aftermath of tragedy in Israel, Northern Ireland and the former Yugoslavia, Lahad examines how to supervise a crisis intervention team: he also focuses on self-supervision.
Combining humanistic, creative and practical approaches, Creative Supervision gives a fresh, new perspective which will inspire supervisors to re-think their practice.

Lynn Fischer, television's "Low Cholesterol Gourmet," knows that there's more to a low-fat diet than simply yanking the fat out of every recipe; all too often the flavor disappears right along with the fat. So why monitor your fat content? Maybe you need to shed a pound or two; perhaps you've seen your doctor's finger pointed straight at you, accompanied by the admonition to treat your heart with a little more respect; or you may just be interested in a more healthy diet. Where do you start? How do you cook and bake with less fat? How do you shop for reduced-fat meals? How do you plan and measure in order to achieve the results you want? Fischer addresses all of these questions in a cookbook that contains more than 225 recipes for delicious foods, from appetizers to desserts, and no recipe calls for more than 1 gram of fat.

I HAVE BEEN ON WEIGHT WATCHERS FOR OVER A YEAR AND THIS BOOK HAS ADDED GREAT TASTING RECIPES I CAN ADAPT TO MY WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM.
