The Little Black Book for Managers (ePub)

A smart, small book for any manager's pocket.



In every manager's career there are moments where
decisions need to be made in order to achieve success and this
smart, nicely packaged little book can be there to help each time.
The trick to succeeding in these moments is to identify each of
these situations ahead of time and understand how to act and what
to do to reduce the chances of failure. That is exactly what The
Little Black Book for Managers has done. The authors have
listed a whole host of situations most managers face, based on
thousands of personal experiences, and have mapped out how to deal
with each situation. The book contains specific examples of words
and phrases that can be used as well as illustrations and exercises
to analyse your current performance. It is short on waffle and high
on practical wisdom. It is designed to be dipped in and out of
- reached for whenever a situation arises. This is a
practical support tool for managers at all levels, from shop-floor
supervisor to main board director.

with scenarios such as;

* Having a lack of confidence to deal with other people in the
way that is needed

pressure
