Managing for Success: Practical Advice for Managers
Excerpt from Review by Susan Violante for Reader Views (4/14) "Managing for Success: Practical Advice for Managers" by Steven Smith is exactly what the title describes. I definitely rate this book as a must read for all professionals who aspire to be or are currently in a managerial position. I found much advice that I will be using in my own management style and know everyone that reads this will do the same!Excerpt from Review by Diane Donovan for Midwest Review (4/14) It's all here: all that's required is that supervisors and managers be able to acknowledge that more effective management skillsets can be gleaned from the right combination of experience and logical lessons. Managing for Success provides the latter: with it, new managers can step up to the plate and get on track quickly before any other moves are made in the workplace.Excerpt from get/Abstracts Review (4/14) Smith's pragmatic - if mainstream - advice provides very concise basic management training while offering worthwhile insights into employee-manager and manager-boss relations. getAbstract recommends Smith's unpretentious, valuable primer to managers who could use a refresher and to those who are mostly winging it for now.Excerpt from Nathan Mercer's Blog (5/14) Smith doesn't keep the reader waiting to get concepts and advice that can save a manager's career and sanity. How much money is that worth? I guarantee you, it is worth at least as much as this "mentor on a shelf" is priced at-probably much more.
