How productive and successful would organizations be if their managers were skilled in all the roles they play, not just some of them?

In this novel approach to analyzing and practicing management, you'll learn the most important lessons all managers need to know to be successful, including:

  • Why improving your ability to understand and manage emotions and needs is key to gaining trust from your co-workers, bosses, and direct reports
  • How developing both leadership competence and charisma is often a challenge for managers
  • Which of three different approaches for understanding and managing your organization you should use, and when you should use them
  • Why recognizing your own biases can improve decision-making
  • The crucial differences between employee training and employee development, as well as when to use them most effectively

...and much more!
