Let’s face it, if you want to get ahead in business you cannot
avoid people management – but we’re often promoted because
we’re good at what we do, not because we display great management
skills. We owe it to the people we manage to read up on the subject
and get skilled! Luckily Jo Owen has laid out 50 essential lessons
we need to learn to become the best manager we can be.
Jo has studied what makes a good manager everywhere from British
soap powder companies, to inner city schools and Japanese banks. So
whether becoming a manager has brought out the inner dictator in
you or left you feeling painfully awkward, Management Rules
will have you relaxed, confident and effective in no time.
