Description: "This book is about seven metaphors that continue to serve the author well in his life and business career, each illustrating a vital skill and together forming a formidable resource to be drawn on at any time. But why seven? Many believe that the number seven reflects our cognitive makeup; that seven is about the number of categories of information that we can comfortably retain in our immediate memory. A manager's memory could not be better filled than with these metaphors and the skills they represent." "Drawing on field research, modern management theory, numerous case studies and the author's own extensive and exceptional experience, Seven Metaphors on Management provides invaluable wisdom and guidance for managers working in, or with, the Arab nations."--Jacket.
