Synopsis

Guidelines for Excellence in Management: The Manager's Digest provides the definitive standard, in the form of research-based guidelines, for successfully and efficiently dealing with managerial situations and dilemmas. While many management books are anecdotal in nature - based mostly on personal experience or the latest fad - this practical, resourceful new book uses solid research to establish standards of management. Prescriptive - not descriptive - it establishes valid management standards based on a thorough search of the top research in management. This comprehensive reference tool includes works from some of the field's most respected authorities. A first and definitive step in establishing standard "best practices" in management, this book provides readers with concise, unqualified guidance on the effective practice of management. Managers who follow these guidelines will, on average, be more effective than managers who do not. Organizations that follow these guidelines will, on average, outperform organizations that do not. An invaluable guidebook for novice and seasoned manager alike, Guidelines for Excellence in Management: The Manager's Digest is an essential resource for executives, directors, and managers at every level.
