Synopsis

Some people seem to be naturally great managers. They glide effortlessly onwards and upwards through all the politics, the system, the people problems, the impossible targets, the work overload and all the nonsense that goes on. They say the right thing; do the right thing and know how to handle every situation. 

Is there something they do that we don’t? Is it a natural ability or something we could all learn? Is there a secret to managerial success? Yes... and all is revealed in The Rules of Management.  

These rules cover how you relate to people and  how you conduct yourself. They underpin all of your behaviour and your actions. This is the book for you if you want to be successful and still be able to live with yourself, sleep nights and be regarded as a thoroughly nice person by your team, your colleagues and your boss.

The Rules of Management is written in a light, entertaining, easy-to-read style that is easy to dip into, accessible and informative. This is a practical book with lots of good advice, common sense, examples, workable tips and hints to make your managerial life smooth and effective.

From the Back Cover:

The Rules of Management

A definitive code for managerial success

 

 

Would you like to be one of those managers who glides effortlessly onwards and upwards through the system, the politics, the people problems, the impossible targets and the work overload?

Would you like to always say the right thing, do the right thing and know how to handle every situation? 

And would you like to do all this without breaking much of a sweat or seeming to put in excess effort?

Then you need The Rules of Management. These golden rules cover what you say and what you do (and what you are seen to be doing). They show how you inspire your team to perform (and what you do when it doesn't). They underpin your successful behaviours and actions.

Your life will be easier. Your successes will be greater. And when you are headhunted or promoted (again) nobody will be surprised. Least of all you.

 

Others can be good. You’ll be better.
