A must have Feb 27, 2007
Wally Bock's Performance Talk is a must-have for managers of all levels, in all industries. I currently am in management at one of the largest financial institutions in the world, and have truly valued Bock's down-to-earth, story telling approach to management. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about, as well as striving to improve, his/her own management style.

Surprisingly useful and entertaining Jul 28, 2006
I normally stay away from (a) books on leadership and (b) business books written in story form. But Wally is one of the smartest guys I know, and this little book is surprisingly entertaining and useful. Unlike other books on leadership which are ponderous and dull, this book is fun and motivating.

Five Stars for Performance Talk May 11, 2006
10 May 2006:
Performance Talk is, in my view, a minor masterpiece, maybe even
a future classic.
For years I trained supervisors and first line managers all over the USA. So, I know whereof I speak.
Wally Bock capture, engage, and reveal every possible point of friction a new manager faces.
He clarify the challenges all new managers endure.
He delineates principles, postures, and practices that yield more effective performance. Performance by the manager and performance
by subordinates.
