Book Description

Some people seem to be naturally great managers. They glide effortlessly onwards and upwards through all the politics, the system, the people problems, the impossible targets, the work overload and all the nonsense that goes on. They say the right thing; do the right thing and know how to handle every situation. Is there something they do that we don't? Is it a natural ability or something we could all learn? Is there a secret to managerial success? Yes...and all is revealed in The Rules of Management. These rules cover how you relate to people and how you conduct yourself. They underpin all of your behaviour and your actions. This is the book for you if you want to be successful and still be able to live with yourself, sleep nights and be regarded as a thoroughly nice person by your team, your colleagues and your boss. The Rules of Management is written in a light, entertaining, easy-to-read style that is easy to dip into, accessible and informative. This is a practical book with lots of good advice, common sense, examples, workable tips and hints to make your managerial life smooth and effective.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"If you don't happen to have a personal genie sitting on your shoulder to get you out of management scrapes, this book is certainly the next best thing" - PQ Magazine, October 2006

"This manual for the workplace [is] indispensable in staying one step ahead of the management game."

- Sales and Marketing Management (January 2006)

“…a noble attempt to cut through this complexity and distil it down to some simple, memorable axioms… Could serve as a wake up reminder to a manager caught in the drama and complexity of a difficult managerial situations.”

- Management Today

"As a writer, he has a literary charisma that jumps off the pages and is sure to win round the hardest of rule breakers with its sheer hilarity. Whether your a manager yourself or have one, Templar's advice is relevant to all who work with people or deal with customers" - Accounting Technician

"I finished this book feeling uplifted, motivated and raring to go... if you don't have a personal genie sitting on your shoulder to get you out of management scrapes, this book is certainly the next best thing" PQ Magazine, October 2006

From the Back Cover

The Rules of Management

A definitive code for managerial success

 

 

Would you like to be one of those managers who glides effortlessly onwards and upwards through the system, the politics, the people problems, the impossible targets and the work overload?

Would you like to always say the right thing, do the right thing and know how to handle every situation? 

And would you like to do all this without breaking much of a sweat or seeming to put in excess effort?

Then you need The Rules of Management. These golden rules cover what you say and what you do (and what you are seen to be doing). They show how you inspire your team to perform (and what you do when it doesn't). They underpin your successful behaviours and actions.

Your life will be easier. Your successes will be greater. And when you are headhunted or promoted (again) nobody will be surprised. Least of all you.

 

Others can be good. You¿ll be better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Templar has done it again!, July 1, 2005
After writing my review of Sir Templar's other book "The Rules of Work", I scoured the Net looking for this one. Unfortunately, it hadn't been released in the U.S. at that time. I stumbled upon it and immediately snatched it up!

Once more, Templar has laid down the rules of workplace conduct and strategy in a concise, direct, and easy-to-digest manner that stresses points simply while never insulting the reader. All of the ideas in this book have been published in other books by other writers, but this book culls it all together in one very portable resource which easily makes this one of the highest cost:value ratios out there!

I might sound like a zealot, but try and you'll understand why I'm so enthusiastic about Templar's books!

5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievably good, June 27, 2005
I only got this a week ago and thought it would make a reasonable read. I read it in one sitting - couldn't put it down. It is utterly fantastic. I began to put the Rules of Management into play first thing next day at work and what a difference. This is like magic. It is a miracle book. I know he, the author, says you shouldn't talk about this book and keep it secret but it is so wonderful that I can't help it. This is dynamite and every manager should have a copy and read it every day. This book is going to be such a best seller. If this isn't in the top lists within a month I'll eat my hat.

4.0 out of 5 stars A slick list of rules for ruling at the office, July 18, 2006
New or struggling managers will enjoy this practical, easy-to-read book of management tips, but experienced managers should take a look, too. Richard Templar writes in a "straight-from-the-cuff" style (no dry textbook terminology or dusty case studies here). He packs his manual with great, even if a bit obvious, lists of advice. We recommend this breezy, practical rulebook. To be a better manager, read it and ask yourself if you are still following the best practices. If you know what to do, are you doing it? If you don't know what to do, start reading.
