Latest from the Sunday Times ‘Creating Success’ series
Michael Armstrong, management consultant and author of a number of management books, here offers practical advice for managers, supervisors and team leaders on how to get the best results from their teams.
Acknowledging that managers rely on their teams as much as teams rely on their managers, he covers all the main aspects of leadership, motivation, delegation and organisation succinctly and clearly.
This book will be especially valuable for those in managerial positions who do not have the luxury of formal HR support thanks to sections on selection, performance management and rewards.
Though concise (just 150 or so pages) it is comprehensive and the author manages to include ideas on helping individuals develop as well as providing useful advice on dealing with problem behaviour, absenteeism and underperformance.
A useful book for the manager pressed for time – so that would be pretty well all of them.

I have always believed that you manage things and lead people.
I wrote an article on the subject Managing Things and Leading People.
It's a different twist on how managers should work.
Cheers,
Jim
