"When it comes to management, Mintzberg's opinions matter." People Management "Henry Mintzberg's views are a breath of fresh air which can only encourage the good guys." The Observer For years Henry Mintzberg has asked people what happened the day they became a manager. The response, "almost always puzzled looks, then shrugs. You are supposed to figure it out for yourself. Like sex, I suppose, usually with equally embarrassing initial consequences". This book slims down his award-winning work Managing (2009) and provides streamlined advice to help new and experienced managers get it right. Simply Managing answers questions including: How do I deal with the pressures of management? What are the most important elements of my job? And how do I get them right? How do I connect in a job that's intrinsically disconnected? How do I maintain confidence without becoming arrogant? What are the cornerstones of effective management? It provides thoughtful, yet practical advice from one of the world's most influential management thinkers.
