Simply Managing: What Managers Do # and Can Do Better
<b>The Essence of <i>Managing</i><br><br> </b>Henry Mintzberg appreciates that managers are busy people. So he has taken his classic book <i>Managing</i>, done some updating, and distilled its essence into a lean 176 pages of text. <br><br> The essence of the book remains the same: what Mintzberg learned from observing twenty-nine managers in settings ranging from a refugee camp to a symphony orchestra. <i>Simply Managing </i>considers the intense dynamics of this job as well as its inescapable conundrums, for example: <br> <b><br> </b>• How is anyone supposed to think, let alone think ahead, in this frenetic job?<br> • Are leaders really more important than managers?<br> • Where has all the judgment gone?<br> • Is email destroying management practice?<br> • How can managers connect when their job disconnects them from what they are managing?<br><br> If you read only one book about managing, this should be it!
