Managers, we all know them. They make sure
that things get done, that agreements are
observed and that results are achieved. Ten years
ago they were seen as the ideal solution for many
companies. These days, their very existence is
being called into question. Why this separate
role? After all, managing is something we all do.
Think Like a Manager, Don´t Act Like One offers
75 successful approaches to help you foresee or
manage unpredictable situations. Developed with
the assistance of John F. Kennedy, Johan Cruijff,
Casanova, talented management gurus, elusive
laboratory molds, one oval table, one donkey,
Barack Obama, and Johnny Cash. These 75
perspectives will add to your confusion - but also
your understanding.
This collection of approaches may well irritate
you from time to time, and possibly inspire you,
but really it should make you think. It probably
wouldn´t be sensible to follow every one of
them, but they might give you some fresh ideas.
Because those who keep doing what they´ve
always done achieve the results they´ve always
achieved.
