Nuevamente leo este libro, que en realidad, no se "lee", sino que es un libro de consulta importantísimo para la gerencia.

Creo que puedo decir que es quizás el mejor libro de administración, aunque no dice gran cosa. Y he ahí lo maravilloso. El libro está lleno de pequeñas frases, algunas son hasta clichés cursi, pero da muchísima luz sobre lo que se espera de alguien como empleado y como gerente. Solo hay que interpretar las frasecitas.

Por ejemplo, en la vertical de comunicación, recomienda cosas como estas:

* Utilizar técnicas de escucha activa
* Mantener informada a su línea de mando
* Crea una cultura de apertura y de compartir información
* Construye confianza a través de comunicación regular, abierta y honesta

¿Hay algo que no sepamos? Definitivamente no, clichés totalmente, pero puestos de forma ordenada y sistemática dan muchísimo sentido a lo que hacemos. Tampoco es que quede duda de qué es "crear confianza" o qué es ser "honesto" ¿verdad?

--------------------------------------

Este fue mi primera reseña, cuando lo "leí" por primera vez
Es un libro que se puede usar de muchas formas. Los dos usos más sencillos son:

1) Como empleado, para ayudarte a hacer una planeación de lo que deberías hacer (o estar haciendo) en cierto punto en tu carrera

Pero es más valioso cuando se usa...

2) Como jefe, para darle retroalimentación (o coaching, palabra que me molesta) a un subordinado

Pero también se le puede dar un uso como de...

3) "Librito de oraciones", hay algunos libros que traen algunas frases o consejos inspiradores, a veces les llaman "quinielas", otros son "idearios". Pues esto puede ser lo mismo. La estructura del libro facilita mucho el encontrar esos "que" que a veces son tan elusivos en nuestro trabajo del día a día

A great companion to 2600 Phrases for Effective Performance Reviews, particularly if your performance reviews include annual goals. A good tool for both managers and employees for crafting good, SMART goals.

[Todd Moster · Rating 5 out of 5]

All too often and at even the best companies, managers view the annual performance evaluations of the people they supervise as an act of drudgery, often completed at the last minute without much thought or planning. In his 2600 Phrases for Setting Effective Performance Goals: Ready-to-Use Phrases That Really Get Results, author Paul Falcone makes it clear that such an attitude is not only a mistake but a lost opportunity. A senior human resources executive who has worked at top entertainment companies, Falcone makes a good case that annual assessments should not be a once-a-year, isolated event, but an ongoing, year-long process inseparable from such managerial duties as ensuring proper goal setting, planning, training and feedback.

But Falcone's philosophy of the performance appraisal as a proactive performance tool is only the start. The lion's share of the book is a compendium of action-oriented phrases to help managers communicate their assessments in a manner that will ensure ready understanding and effective action. Supported by a detailed table of contents which allows readily reference for any specific situation, 2600 Phrases is a succinct, accessible and must-have manual for any enlightened manager.
