All I Know About Management I Learned from My Dog: The Real Story of Angel, a Rescued Golden Retriever, Who Inspired the New Four Golden Rules of Management - Hardcover
Synopsis
When 91-year-old legendary management guru Martin Levin decided to adopt a dog by the name of Angel, he thought he was in for an interesting experience, yet not a challenging one. It didn’t take long for him to learn that he was wrong. Very wrong. Following one of the guiding mantras of his life to never stop learning, Levin found that each day with his dog brought new insights. Through interacting with Angel, he began to recall some personal adventures that added to this insight. And as it turned out, his journey led him toward realizing the Four Golden Rules of Management:
Rule 1: Trust and Leadership
Rule 2: Communication
Rule 3: Problem Solving and Decision Making
Rule 4: Perseverance
In the end, Levin found that his Four Golden Rules of Management were so simple that even Angel understood them. Thus, if a manager can develop trust, it will lead to corporate excellence, provided he or she is able to communicate effectively, make the right strategic decisions, and, above all, persevere. Levin’s book is one to entertain, inspire, and educate business executives (and dog lovers).

Review
I think every leader should have a dog they keep us grounded and reduce stress. My dog, Joy, is the light of my life. And Martin Levin s delightful dog, Angel, has helped him discover surprising parallels between owning a dog and effective leadership: You sometimes have to earn trust. Clear communication is essential. Most problems can be solved with determination and a caring heart. And perseverance leads to success. This book, like Angel, is an unexpected treasure. --Ken Blanchard, coauthor of The One Minute Manager
