by Michael Tabman $15.99, 304 pages, soft cover Walking the Corporate Beat: Police School for Business People is former FBI Special Agent in Charge and businessman Michael Tabman’s gift to all executives and business professionals seeking new and effective ways to recognize and prevent problems. Readers will be intrigued by parallels between police work and business, and how basic law enforcement concepts resolve management problems. Whether the focus is managing risk or team building, defining company objectives or discussing ethics, the parallels are compelling. Tabman explains the similarities with candid descriptions and dramatic, and often humorous, vignettes from his days on the force. In an approach that captivates the reader, he juxtaposes such challenges of law enforcement and business as multitasking, conferences, relationships, and strategizing. The concept that rushing into a melee without stopping to think is as dangerous in police work as it is in business is one example of how this book will open new and energizing doors. |
