The New Unblocked Manager : A Practical Guide to Self-Development

Booknews

A self-help guide written for managers who don't necessarily want to overthrow Bill Gates but would like to be efficient, effective, and sane in their current positions. The authors identify 12 areas that the consider "blockages" to managerial competence, such as negative personal values, low creativity, and unclear goals. A self-evaluation exercise is provided for each area, and then a detailed agenda for tackling that particular weak spot. The revised edition reflects new business practices, and the feedback of practicing managers who have used the book in the past. Distributed by Ashgate. Annotation c.
