getAbstract Summary: Get the key points from this book in less than 10 minutes.

Charles E. Watson, Ph.D., describes a variety of problems that can occur at work and tells you how "smart people" deal with them effectively. By smart, he means "good," his point being that good is smart. He organizes his management-oriented scenarios according to a series of themes that highlight the best policies to adopt, such as sticking to your principles, accurately weighing your options and seeking to do what's right, not what's popular. The book mixes behavioral tips with solutions to problems, emphasizing the need to be trustworthy and responsible and to follow the path of morality and integrity. Sometimes the book seems scattered, since the author distances the solutions from the dilemmas by dropping tips in between them, but the point and purpose survive this wrinkle. Since getabstract.com - like most of you - finds it pretty easy to advocate goodness, truth and fair dealing, we liked Watson's approach. Funny how doing the right thing turns out to be practical.
