About the Book
This is a book for managers. And for the leaders who rely on them. It's a short book – about 100 pages. If you're an average reader, it'll take a couple of hours to digest this tasty little tome. We guarantee it will be the most productive business reading you've ever done.
In this book you'll discover principles and practices that can propel you along the path of building a better department, or a better company. There's guidance. Much of it, startlingly simple. Some of it, wrenchingly difficult in practical application. All of it worth thinking about.
There's inspiration. Stories and ideas and really big questions. As you think about what's written on these pages, you might clarify your own concept of what it means to be a manager, or come face to face with the profound responsibilities of leadership.
Perhaps you're looking for straight answers to pressing, pragmatic problems: How do I motivate my direct reports? What can I do to increase productivity? Is there a way to stop the revolving door – a way to keep my best people? Why don't people do what I want them to do? How can I possibly get my own work done when someone always needs something from me? What about the troublemakers?
Bad news – there is no panacea. Good news – there is hope and there are realistic approaches – sometimes even a solution lurking about. You'll find many of them in this book.
There is also a chance this book will lead you to a better way to live your business life. A better way to relate to and work with your subordinates and your boss. A more productive way to deal with the stress and conflict that arise in even the best of workplaces. And, most importantly, a way to experience the joy and satisfaction that comes from achievement.
