The author of Managing for Dummies and columnist for Inc.com has written a complete guide for training new managers or a refresher for established ones. This book offers advice on becoming a better manager and leader, part of which involves learning to collaborate and communicate with others. Included here are key management skills and managerial challenges, with specific lists of tools guiding leaders along the way. In some cases, the author presents real-world examples and case studies. While the purpose of the book is to develop high-quality managers who can make a real difference in their organization, the small details are not overlooked. Chapters cover a variety of subjects, including goal setting, empowering employees, and hiring and firing employees. The author advises managers to see change as an opportunity, not as a challenge. VERDICT A comprehensive look at workforce strategies for the 21st century. Every person promoted to a management position should be given a copy of this informative guide.—Bonnie A.
