Handbook for First-Time Managers: Managing Effectively - Tapa blanda

Anxious about that new management job? Need solid guidelines for getting organized? Start out on the fast track to corporate success by mastering the skills used by experienced, high-achieving managers. Get answers to those day-to-day questions that confront supervisors in companies large or small. Do budgeting and tracking (graphs and charts illustrate common financial mistakes); interview and select job candidates wisely; promote and appraise employees fairly; and prepare for the difficult task of firing someone. Understand networking in all its facets: mentoring, establishing connections both inside and outside of the job, and ethics. Because so much business communication takes place through letters, memos, and contracts, managers require a thorough knowledge of writing. Always keep in mind that a written document is permanent--errors can come back to haunt you. Remember that most business people are busy, so forego lengthy reports for something concise and clear. In no time, you'll be managing your job-and your career-with maximum effectiveness! Originally published as Managing Effectively. Sterling 192 pages, 6 x 9.
