Product Description

Great management is difficult to see as it occurs. It's possible to see the results of great management, but it's not easy to see how managers achieve those results. Great management happens in one-on-one meetings and with other managers---all in private. It's hard to learn management by example when you can't see it.

You can learn to be a better manager---even a great manager---with this guide. You'll follow along as Sam, a manager just brought on board, learns the ropes and deals with his new team over the course of his first eight weeks on the job. From scheduling and managing resources to helping team members grow and prosper, you'll be there as Sam makes it happen. You'll find powerful tips covering:

Delegating effectively
Using feedback and goal-setting
Developing influence
Handling one-on-one meetings
Coaching and mentoring
Deciding what work to do---and what not to do
...and more.

Full of tips and practical advice on the most important aspects of management, this is one of those books that can make a lasting and immediate impact on your career.

From the Publisher

You may never have seen great management. Or, more likely, you've seen pieces of great management, but you may not know how to pull it all together. If you're a seasoned manager who wants to be more effective, or if you're considering moving into management, this book will show you what to do and how to do it effectively.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books I've come across for new managers, 9 Feb 2006

By	Paul Belcher "Trainer and Coach" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Practical, very readable and full of sound advice which works. Genuinely useful books for new managers are rare in my experience and this is one of the best I've come across.
