About the Book

Managers are busy people, particularly so in recent times when resources are more limited and real success harder to achieve. In order to be effective, aspiring business leaders now need to return to the basics of management. This new book, from an experienced management consultant and author, responds to these challenges and offers both experienced and aspiring managers a practical resource in a broad series of short chapters or 'elements' covering the critical aspects which drive success in both management and leadership. The Essential Manager is a collection of 30 essential building blocks for management success, organised into three interlinking parts: * Part 1 - About You begins with a focus on you, the manager, because you can never hope to bring the best out of others until you first get the most from yourself. * Part 2 - About People concentrates on important aspects of leading and managing people - working together to achieve personals and business goals. * Part 3 - About Business is concerned with some key activities associated with managing any business or function, like strategic planning and managing change. Each element offers concise and focused advice, founded in theory, but of real-world application. Though well-written and authoratitive, the style is easy-to-read and accessible.
