5.0 out of 5 stars Umiker's Management Skills for the New Health Care Supervisor 4th ed. by Charles R. McConnell, November 8, 2005

By	Ann Tomey (Terre Haute, IN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The author is a human resources and health care management consultant. The book has six parts and 41 chapters. The Parts are 1. Planning and Organizing; 2. Leading People; 3. Health Care Cost Control; 4. Developing Employees; 5. Special Supervisory Skills; and 6. Self-Enhancement for Supervisors. This book has a lot of practical suggestions for solving people problems. It is rich with management content. Chapters begin with an appropriate quote followed by the chapter objectives. Chapters have bolded divisions, numbered and bulleted points. They end with think about it, questions for review and discussion, exercises, case studies, references, and recommended reading. References are often old publications but the recommended readings are more recent. There is an index at the end of the book. This is a good resource for teaching nursing management and for nursing managers to use on the job.
