Managing in the Gray: Five Timeless Questions for Resolving Your Toughest Problems at Work

Boring book but it came quick and i needed it for school.

I thought this was a terrific read. Mr. Badaracco combines solid thought processes with historic philosophical teachings to produce a workable process for problem solving. As he puts it - work through it as a manager and solve as a human being. He lays out four mgmt questions - what are the consequences, what are our obligations, what is practical and who are we (mission). Then the final question - what can we live with. Reads quickly and provides a good process to not only make a decision, but to implement once made.

Our team divided up the chapters and had a "book club" meeting each week to discuss. It was a nice way to break up the monotony. Each chapter built on the prior one and it all came together in the last chapter.

Dr Badaracco's book, "Managing in the Grey" is worth noting. It suggests that a decision makers take a step to the side and consider carefully the five timeless questions that the author sets forth. Think of it as a guide to make better decisions in a complex world where the answers or the path and pace aren't clear and somewhat uncertain.

Very practical method to deal with complecated decision with 5 essential questions about consequence, basic duties, practical ways, organizational culture, and personal.sense.

I had to buy this book for a college course but I ended up really liking it. It does a good job of describing how to approach complex problems and I highly recommend it for anyone who has trouble making large decisions .

It's easy to apply the principles to your life at work and home. I recommend this book if you care about making decisions that are fair to your employees and the organization.

I personally found my self in organization a gray areas and found the model presented to be of immense value in interpreting and understanding my situation and find some resolution.

This is a fantastic read for any students looking to study business or any managers/hopeful managers who wish to learn about gray matter problems and how to approach them. As the book explains there are five questions we must all ask ourselves and it goes into a detailed review on why we should ask those questions and what we should be considering when asking them of ourselves.This is not a generic self help book or an easy answer to all of your problem solving questions, but is instead a true guide on how to tackle sticky problems as a manager.

It is worth reading and when you consider the purpose of reading it, anything gained will be a dramatic return on your investment. I personally enjoyed the book and found several gems within it which enhanced my own management style.
