Product Description:
The hardcover edition of Peanut Butter and Jelly Management, which charmingly showed how being a good manager requires many of the same skills and qualities associated with being a good parent, resonated with thousands of readers. Now, Amacom presents the same wholesome package in paperback.
In the words of the authors, who are the proud parents of nine children, "If we carefully listen and watch children at home -- think about what they do and how we bring them up -- we can greatly improve our chances of being successful in leading adults in the workplace." Much like kids, employees benefit from more personal involvement, caring, understanding, and attention.
Using stories from their own lives as parents, the authors demonstrate the important management lessons to be gleaned from parenting -- and give readers tips for applying the lessons to the workplace. Whimsical, touching, and heart-warming, but also practical, insightful, and direct, Peanut Butter and Jelly Management offers a fresh, unusual approach to leadership. Maybe father (or mother) really does know best.

Chris and Reina Komisarjevsky illustrate effective management techniques using examples based on their toughest leadership experience: raising nine children. They delineate the skills that help children learn how to set goals, share objectives, communicate more effectively, and get along. Each chapter begins with a story about an experience with one of their children, such as buying ice cream or playing sandlot baseball. The stories illustrate management principles and guidelines. These precepts ... Read More

A marketing high-concept for sure but I found the dynamics of an upsized family irrelevant to downsized corporate structures in this prime example of vanity press.

The Komisarjevskys have struck a harmonious chord with this little book! The stories of their children are immediately engaging and natural springboards for discussing effective management practices. They teach us with heartwarming sincerity that our children can be wonderful teachers, and that we can become more effective managers, employers, employees and parents by heeding what they have to teach and applying the lessons to our work environments. The authors show that our home lives and its ... Read More

I read this book after reading a review of it in "Bookpage". As a librarian I read books on many subjects and am always looking for those that are unusual and intriguing. The title - "Peanut Butter and Jelly Management" and its premise-applying parental experiences to corporate leadership-promised to be both. The book did not disappoint me. I fell in love with the children(all nine of them)who are the heroes of the book. As a parent, I identified with the charming and sometimes poignant experiences ... Read More
