Product Description

Review
"...a very useful paperback for anyone involved in managing and leading staff...there really is a wide coverage of topics". --British Dental Association News, August 2008 Shortlist, Thursday 7th August 2008

Product Description
If you’re having trouble motivating your employees, need to resolve a conflict, or want to learn how to better monitor your employees’ performance, this straight–forward guide will take you step by step through every aspect of managing. Packed with expert advice on team–building, communication skills, identifying talented employees, and letting go of staff, Managing for Dummies takes the stress out of what can be an intimidating and high–pressured job.

The book will be adapted from the current US edition of Managing for Dummies. Existing content will be revised to reflect essential UK information including:

  • UK–specific case studies, including references to recognisable UK businesses
  • UK business practice, including ethics, employee and employers rights and responsibilities, hiring and firing – with reference to UK law
  • UK websites
  • UK financial information

5.0 out of 5 stars Skip the MBA and read this book! Save $40,000, 4 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Managing for Dummies (Paperback)
First, this book is a "fun" read which is unusual for most business books. If you want to know how mananagement thinks and how it works in most corporate environments today - get this book.

The first half is execellent and by the time it's completed you'll know exactly the way your poor boss has been tramautized over the past 10 years with all the new passing management fads. No wonder management is basically skeptical and seems to have a schizophrenic identity crisis.

The second half of the book hangs a bit, maybe the authors ran out of ideas. But the final Index of the 10 essential management books is invaluable. I've already read 3 of the suggestion.

Read this book. Take your boss to lunch, realize how trapped he really is, get a raise, and save $40,000 on your MBA. Just keep reading and reading books like this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Simple and concrete guide on being a manager., 8 Jan 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Managing for Dummies (Paperback)
I found the reading of this book pretty rewarding. I recommned this book to all those who are looking for a quick guide on being a manager. On the other hand, those looking for new approaches on management may find this book too simple.

5.0 out of 5 stars A how-to guide for the new manager, 27 Nov 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Managing for Dummies (Paperback)
This guide is appealing for people who have been recently thrust into roles of leadership and management in corporate America. The style is easy to read. The content is first-rate. I would suggest this as recommended reading to anyone who is a new manager.
