Description: "Callaway aims at the front-line executive and manager and drives home the point that there are no standard solutions to management problems, simply because management circumstances are never alike. Basing his book upon real world situations and presenting problems in the way they usually occur, with no one solution but rather a range of possibilities, Callaway demonstrates that every decision carries risk. Throughout his vividly drawn scenarios, he makes clear that the authoritarian model of the manager is on the decline and just won't work as it once did in everyday work situations.

Callaway looks at management problems at many different levels within the organization to demonstrate that the decision process and the techniques used for risk assessment are essentially the same at all levels."--Jacket.
