“I have used Macek’s Successful Managers: Successful Organizations in coaching executives. It provides a succinct statement of sound management principles packaged in a clear, easy-to-read format. My clients have found it helpful, practical and relevant to the issues they face every day.”

“In Successful Managers: Successful Organizations, John has put together a good training tool to introduce two dozen important management topics to new managers as a basis for further discussion and coaching. The Management Checklist is great and the advice throughout is very practical. The content is concise, factual and easy to understand and put into practice.”
Jim Gettell, Managing Director, Schenck M&A Solutions


“I have provided consultation in fifteen countries on behalf of the European Union. Mr. Macek's Successful Managers: Successful Organizations provides a useful overview of management that has helped me increase my effectiveness as an international consultant. It is simple in its delivery but sophisticated, insightful, and universal in its application. Short, well chosen excerpts allow students and managers to familiarize themselves with primary material that has wide-ranging application.”

“There's a great deal more to successful management than is taught in most MBA programs! In Successful Managers: Successful Organizations John Macek draws upon many years of experience and expertise as a successful corporate manager to compile into just forty-three 8.5 x11 pages a thoroughly 'user friendly' compendium of practical managerial advice that is as insightful as it is 'real world' based. Replete with checklists and step-by-step instructions, Successful Managers, Successful Organizations will enable even the most novice manager in either for-profit or non-profit companies and corporations to identify, analyze and evaluate the managerial needs of their organization; write meaningful job descriptions; recruit competent employees; execute effective staff evaluations; monitor managerial and supervisory performance, and a great deal more. Of special note is Macek's commentary on shaping and implementing a "Corporate Culture". Informed and informative throughout, Successful Managers: Successful Organizations is highly recommended for personal, professional, business school, and community library reference collections and supplemental reading lists.”
