Product Description

The situation: There is more stress in the workplace than ever before. People believe they're working harder for a lower quality of life. And in this information age, workers are more aware of what's going on in the world than ever before. People work to live; they do not want to live to work… This isn't a judgment or a complaint; it's a fact. It is a fact that managers must realize every day when creating their own management style. Successful managers discover what their team wants and needs, then develop a style to fit the needs of their team and themselves.

The characteristics of great managers of people:
· They have established Core Values
· They are able to clearly set and deliver on expectations
· They are world-class communicators
· They inspect what they expect
· They are able to instill passion in those around them
· They take ownership and responsibility
· They treat people around them well
· They are innovative and unafraid to take risks
· They adapt to change
· They commit to their success
· They plan and expect to succeed

A BOOK BY A MANAGER, FOR THOSE WHO ARE MANAGERS OR WHO ASPIRE TO BE MANAGERS

Management and indeed management styles have changed dramatically over the past century. In this insightful, often irreverent book, a veteran manager talks about these changes and how managers and supervisors need to tailor their own styles to those of their team.

Educators and trainers teach prospective managers about how to manage a process, a budget or a job. But left in the dark is how to manage people, for in the end, your success as a manager depends on how well you manage others.

The author makes a case for "Consensus Management," which provides strong leadership and directions while allowing employees to participate in the decision-making process.

This book is a must have for any manager or supervisor--or those who aspire to manage people.
