Becoming a Master Manager is an effective tool for stimulating thinking and building management skills. The book takes you through some of the social and intellectual challenges that managers encounter everyday, the most prominent being pulled by competing demands and having to play many roles simultaneously.

Becoming a Master Manager includes:

  • Managerial examples from real organizations that illustrate new concepts using relevant examples.
  • Learning models such as, mini-lectures, individual presentations, group simulations, small group and full class discussion activities, to expand knowledge of management and real organizations.
  • A hands-on approach.
  • An assessment, learning, analysis, practice, and application approach with each competency.

1.0 out of 5 stars This is a good book to waste your time., January 18, 2006

This review is from: Becoming A Master Manager: A Competency Framework (Paperback)
There are much better books on management out there than this collection of unorganized work. Don't read this book if you're looking for new insight on management techniques. If you're already a seasoned manager, you'll find more value in your real work environment. This was a text for one of my MBA courses, and the rest of my MBA team (which consists of seasoned management professionals) has the same sentiments.

Spend your time elsewhere.

2.0 out of 5 stars Horrible Layout, November 4, 2002
By 
T. Hiltbrand (Layton, UT United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Becoming A Master Manager: A Competency Framework (Paperback)
The content of this book is adequate, but the layout leaves much to be desired. The only way to find a chapter is through the table of contents. Pages are not labeled with chapter information, such as which chapter that page belongs to. The content is often broken up with cases and excercises that divide paragraphs in half. This makes it very confusing to follow the flow of the book. You can be reading along and jump into a case or excercise without knowing it and become very confused. If the authors and publishers would rework the flow of the book, I would rate it much higher.
