A Very Short, Fairly Interesting and Reasonably Cheap Book about Management Reviews

Ann's book is everything a good textbook about leadership and management should be: It is thought-provoking, challenging, reflexive, packed with knowledge, and mostly, a fresh read in a jungle of boring, slight-variations-over-the-same, management books. Also, Ann is doing an important job in advocating for much-needed critical thinking within the field by challenging conventional assumptions and mainstream literature, and the book reflects this ambition in a good way. -- Professor Tom Karp
This intellectually stimulating and practically relevant book offers a refreshing take not only on management, but also communication, culture, identity, and ethics. Rather than repeating well-worn ideas, this book offers a fresh perspective that can help address the daunting challenges that organizations face in the aftermath of COVID-19. Written in an accessible and friendly tone, this book is essential reading not only for management students, but also for practitioners who want to learn how to be more ethical, responsible, effective, and ultimately better managers. -- James McDonald
This is an excellent introduction to management thought and Organizational Theory. The book is nice to read, very informative and covers all main topics in our field. I strongly recommend it to everyone interested in understanding management thinking. -- Rafael Alcadipani
Ann Cunliffe's book provides a profound and articulated reinterpretation of managing as a relational, reflexive, and moral practice. At stake is a careful review of traditional management theories, which opens unexplored horizons on landscapes and organizational orographies.

The thought-provoking reference to authors such as Ferdinand de Saussure, Paul Ricoeur, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Mikhail Bakhtin and Judith Butler, enriches, embellishes, and acts as a solid anchor to the reflections proposed by the author.

In a world scourged by turbulence, uncertainty, the COVID-19 pandemic, protests, division, climate change, social and economic sustainability challenges, Ann Cunliffe's proposal of a different, innovative, and responsible/responsive paradigm of management opens glimmers of hope and a look towards the future. -- Giuseppe Scaratti
