Though many would argue that the information in this textbook is common sense, there's no better way to solidify the art of management with a guide. The information provided in the text is solid, a bit lengthy (which is to elaborate, which is nice), and gets into the deep mechanics of being culturally sensitive to your clients, employee health (in context to respect and their relationships with one another), and successfully creating, implementing, and running a human service organization.
Incredibly dull reading that was required for graduate work. Useful information can be mined out especially thanks to the handy lists and italicized words found in text that draws attention to pertinent information, but everything else can be skipped over.
Easy to read and follow along. Has lots of useful information.
This book is good for another course I am taking
