Be the Best Manager… Ever
NINE editions, read that and weep. This shows that Mr Michael Armstrong keeps thoroughly refining and updating what is known as a complete “A to Z” list of proven techniques and essential skills.
Now if you have never heard of him, it is about time you did. With more than 130,000 copies sold globally and in over 17 languages, you know that you are dealing with an expert in his field.
This book brings about a massive ten new chapters that provide advice on how to deal with not just the basic requirements of a manager (like dealing with budgets) but also, tips on how to be an aspiring manager, especially when it comes to dealing with the diverse workforce like the one we have today.
Clearly written, with graphs, tables, and the like, this is useful not just for the new manager but also the manager who has held the realm for years and needs a timely refresher. This book will not make you an instant manager, but it will definitely equip you with managerial knowledge and some skills. There are different sections that look at general management to personal skills so there is likely to be something that a new or current manager can learn from.
Definitely a book one needs to pick up and refer to, especially the chapter on dealing with office politics.
