ISBN: 9780029253601

A comprehensive guide to understanding and managing individual and group behavior in organizations, covering motivation, leadership, power, and organizational culture for effective management.

The author appreciates that managers are busy people. So he has taken his classic book Managing, done some updating, and distilled its essence into this shortened text. The essence of the book remains the same: what the author has learned from observing twenty-nine managers in settings ranging from a refugee camp to a symphony orchestra. The book considers the intense dynamics of this job as well as its inescapable conundrums, for example: How is anyone supposed to think, let alone think ahead, in this frenetic job? Are leaders really more important than managers? Where has all the judgment gone? Is email destroying management practice? How can managers connect when their job disconnects them from what they are managing? The author has written this book for practicing managers, about their practice of management, and for new managers befuddled by the strange new world of managing. --From back cover.
