Younger and mid-career professionals often struggle with management skills, resulting in increased stress and potential layoffs. Ineffective management practices and resistance to change exacerbate these issues, particularly since senior roles demand strong management competence.

This book is ideal for younger and mid-career professionals who plan to work well into their 60s and beyond. It provides valuable insights into modern day management practices and techniques for sustaining a long and fulfilling career. If you are dedicated to a long-term professional journey, this book offers the guidance you need to navigate and thrive in the evolving workplace, ensuring that you remain engaged and productive throughout your extended career.

This book is also useful for those who plan to pursue an MBA after graduation as well. It is meant to provide them with the knowledge and skills that are on par with those of students who are starting an MBA program with a bachelor's degree in management or two to three years of work experience.

Time is valuable, and it is usually impractical for working professionals to read for extended periods. This book is structured to accelerate your learning curve effectively. Each chapter begins with a set of questions designed to assess your existing knowledge. If you can answer all the questions correctly, you may skip the chapter or quickly scan its contents. However, if you find that you cannot answer majority of the questions, it is recommended that you read the chapter thoroughly at your own pace.

The book is divided into two parts: Personal and Professional Development, and Organizational Management. Table of Contents is provided at the end. It covers the 21 essential management topics necessary for effectively managing oneself and others in practical, real-world situations.

All the chapters are concise, to-the-point, self-contained, and clear, allowing them to be read in any order without losing continuity. Case studies and examples provided in each chapter serve as excellent resources for grasping theoretical concepts and to enhance the reading experience.

The main goal of this book is to spark interest in management, encouraging you to delve deeper and master the subject.

Store description

We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
