A Manager's Guide to Self-Development

by Mike Pedler, Tom Boydell, John G. Burgoyne

This updated version of the highly successful Manager's Guide to Self Development builds on the increasing emphasis on self development as well as the way forward for managers. It offers the manager an effective, lively and practical strategy for understanding a programme of self development. The book is divided into two parts - the first outlines the authors' philosophy and method and uses some simple diagnostic tests to help the reader discover their strengths and weaknesses. Based on this understanding of needs, the second part of the book takes the manager through eleven key qualities, essential for successful management, in 49 practical exercises. The exercises have now been updated in range to cover more issues in communication and working in teams.

Priručnik koji zahtijeva ozbiljnu pažnju. Dosta vježbi, mrvica savjeta. Vidjećemo koliko će biti od koristi. Neke informacije/tehnike su zastarjele. Dosta termina ne pojašnjeno pa bi za početnike moglo biti dosta zbunjujuće. Svakako priručnik koji treba biti u ličnoj biblioteci jednog menadžera.

I found this really useful as a way to identify areas to work on, but was disappointed with the follow up exercises.
