In his new book, Tough-Minded Management, Joe Batten argues that this approach is failing businesses and argues for a return to tough-minded management, based on discipline, accountability, and results.

Batten is a successful businessman with over 30 years of experience. He has seen firsthand the damage that feel-good leadership can do. He has seen businesses become paralyzed by consensus-building, and he has seen leaders avoid making tough decisions because they don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.

Batten argues that tough-minded management is not about being mean or cruel. It is about being honest, direct, and demanding. It is about setting high standards and holding people accountable for achieving them.

Batten provides a number of examples of how tough-minded management can help businesses succeed. He tells the story of a CEO who turned around a failing company by firing the bottom 10% of performers. He also tells the story of a manager who increased sales by 20% by setting clear goals and holding his team accountable for achieving them.

Batten's book is a timely and important reminder that businesses need tough-minded leaders who are not afraid to make tough decisions. If you are a leader, I encourage you to read this book and learn how to apply the principles of tough-minded management in your own organization.
