New Management Excellence Book Series Kicks Off Featuring Interview with Robert Sutton on His Latest Work: Good Boss, Bad Boss.

Online, August 17, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Management blogger and speaker, Art Petty, introduces the Management Excellence Book Series to provide a forum for discussing the big ideas and insights from the leading management authors.

The first episode features an audio interview with New York Times Best-Selling Author, Robert Sutton, regarding his forthcoming book, Good Boss, Bad Boss-How to Be the Best and Learn from the Worst.

"I'm not interested in creating a typical book review, where the focus is on what's good and bad about a book. I'll leave that to the critics. My emphasis is on developing a better understanding of the big ideas from new and leading management authors, and exploring how we might apply these ideas to improve our own practices and our organizations," indicated Petty

The series will feature both audio interviews (podcasts) and written blog posts, and is intended as a bi-weekly addition to Petty's popular Management Excellence blog. Upcoming programs are scheduled with Jim Murphy, author of Inner Excellence, Jocelyn R. Davis, one of the authors of Strategic Speed-Mobilize People, Accelerate Execution, and Gary Harpst, author of Execution Revolution.
