Management Courage: Having the Heart of a Lion

by Margaret Morford

Margaret Morford - America's fastest-rising management strategist - has a no-nonsense message for managers everywhere: In today's fiercely competitive marketplace, you simply cannot afford to be the wishy-washy, "play it safe" manager of yesteryear. Why not? Because managing like that will earn you two rewards: Your best employees hitting the Exit door doing 95 mph and your bottom-line sinking like a stone. Dismissing today's burned-out management theories, Margaret reveals the ultimate 6-step management makeover - Management Courage. In seven profoundly eye-opening chapters, Margaret shows why this unorthodox, revolutionary strategy must be embraced now by every manager and employer wishing to win the impassioned devotion of their employees.

Quick read on having the courage to tell the truth in your workplace, rather than hiding behind policies and blaming others. Principles include: 1) Be painfully honest; 2) Never Treat People Identically; 3) Don't use individuals or policies as a crutch; 4) Ask for and give real feedback; 5) Take the blame; 6) Leave Soul-sucking situations. Each chapter ends with some thought provoking questions leaders should be asking themselves to help them find their courage.

I like her style of writing. She gives a lot of punch in a little book. This is the second of hers I've read and I enjoyed the first just as much. Check Margaret out!
