Product Description
More than ten years after his first bestselling book, The E-Myth, changed the lives of hundreds of thousands of small business owners, Michael Gerber?entrepreneur, author, and speaker extraordinaire?fires the next salvo in his highly successful E-Myth Revolution. Drawing on lessons learned from working with more than 15,000 small, medium-sized, and very large organizations, Gerber has discovered the truth behind why management doesn't work?and what to do about it. Unearthing the arbitrary origins of commonly held doctrines such as the omniscience of leader (Emperor) and the most widely embraced myth of all?The E-Myth Manager offers a fresh, provocative alternative to management as we know it. It explores why every manager must take charge of his own life, reconcile his own personal vision with that of the organization, and develop an entrepreneurial mind-set to achieve true success.

Great stuff and a must have - appears to be simplistic but after you really study Gerber's well articulated strategy carefully - it will then reveal its true value.

Michael Gerber does not put much credence in the oodles of management and leadership theory and teachings that fill today's bookstores, seminars, and classrooms - to include those principles embraced by the titans in the field. One of the main ideas put forth in his book is that a manager must be able to treat his organization/department as if it were his own company. While not a new idea, Michael does take it a bit further insisting that it is an absolute requirement that each person's role in the organization must fill his own personal vision. When this is the case, the manager can find true fulfillment in his work and achieve wonderful things in the process. If not, all the theory, training, etc are pure folly. There's lots of good stuff in this one. It's an easy read too. Michael unveils the e-myth philosophy and how it can be implemented by walking through the process with a manager of his own company.

It was 10+ years since reading the original. Now mid-career I was like the young exec who is the mythical "atlas shrugged".
Gerber's book let me know that vision was still important and that you can't sacrifice your own vision without the resulting burnout.
At a few junctures it gets a little mystic and so I just flip the page.
But as an engineer it's been a boon to my work morale and I've been cranking out the patents and ideas as fast as I can. My vision is to pursue my talents with a tad more caution and ownership.
 Not like the original October 31, 2005

If you are looking for the original emyth book that is LOADED with earth shattering ideas about how small business owners should look at their business - this is NOT it.
A very dissappointing philosophical book that meanders around with little inspiring points.
The emyth original is at the top of the must read books for business owners and this one might be near the bottom. Not to say that there are not some bright spots, but they are few.
 Exactly what I needed September 16, 2005

This is exactly the book I needed. It's not only about management. It's about life. I hope this book helps you as much as it helped me.
