Informative but some are theoretical

Informative but some are theoretical
What I like: some chapters are very useful, for example, how to manage stress at workplace. How to make decisions as a team. The difference between a team and a group. How to communicate within the organization....This book is super informative. Read the chapter titles to see what it’s about. The case studies make me think about real life problems.What I don’t like: some contents are really theoretical, not practical, and those make me wonder if in the real world, they ever use those techniques or not. We like to find solutions for the problem, don’t we? So what’s the point of making the problem more complicated? However, it’s a good book in general. I rate it 3.5/5 so round it up to 4/5.

Purchased for a Masters Level Nursing course. It isn’t the most well structured textbook, however, as a required text there isn’t much I could do about changing it.
