| About the Book
“After the first reading of THE WRECKLESS MANAGER, you come
away with how jam packed this little book is with down to earth,
everyday, useful hints and wisdom on how to be a better manager. It’s
only after the second reading, that you begin to realize that the real
lesson and wisdom being taught by Mr. White is that leadership and
management are a lifelong learning process; and is only available to
those who, like Mr. White, stay focused throughout their careers by
learning everything they can from every single experience and mistake.
Those of us who teach and practice management and leadership should
learn from Mr. White’s example.”
—L. Wayne DeBow- Organizational Consultant, Quantum Consulting.
“The book is an easy read with good examples and anecdotes that
illustrate a different point of view and perspective on leadership
based upon respect, teamwork, flexibility, and engagement of all
members of the team. Many of the anecdotes brought greater
understanding and clarity to personal situations where I did it right
and some situations that I wish that I had read your book first.”
