Reviewer: Almost all books that offer management advice are written from the perspective of the CEO. But most managers aren’t CEOs and don’t have the same perspective as CEOs. So the advice in management books is of limited use for most managers.

Summary
The author concludes that the advice in management books is of limited use for most managers. This is based on the following:
Most management books offer advice from the perspective of the CEO.
Most managers don’t have the same perspective as CEOs.

Missing Connection
Why can’t a manager benefit from advice that isn’t written from their perspective? The premises never establish that in order to be of more than limited use, advice must be written from one’s own perspective.

A
Advice books rarely take the perspective of their intended audience.
(A) doesn’t establish anything about what is of “limited use.” We still have no idea why advice from the perspective of someone besides a manager can’t be of great use to a manager.
B
Most people who read management advice books aspire to be CEOs.
(B) doesn’t establish anything about what is of “limited use.” We still have no idea why advice from the perspective of someone besides a manager can’t be of great use to a manager.
C
Almost all CEOs have experience as lower level managers.
(C) doesn’t establish anything about what is of “limited use.” We still have no idea why advice from the perspective of someone besides a manager can’t be of great use to a manager.
D
Advice is of limited use unless it is offered from the perspective of the recipient.
(D) establishes that if advice is not offered from the perspective of the recipient — in this case, managers — then it will be of limited use. This is why advice from the perspective of CEOs, which is different from a manager’s perspective, is of limited use to most managers.
E
Most managers prefer to read books that they think will be useful to them in their work.
(E) doesn’t establish anything about what is of “limited use.” What managers “think will be useful” doesn’t establish that something is of limited use. We still have no idea why advice from the perspective of someone besides a manager can’t be of great use to a manager.
