About this title

From the Author

In 2003, I was coaching and mentoring groups of managers in the US and the UK.  Each week, one-by-one, they would ask for advice on how to deal with their most pressing current challenge.  These challenges often boiled down to the everyday issues of how to manage and motivate people, how to organize, how to delegate and manage the work, and how to ensure that employees deliver their best possible performance.  I responded with specific advice, but I also wanted to give those managers a fast-track route to acquiring the management experience that usually takes many years.  That inspired me to start condensing my own hard-earned experience into the forty essential truths for managers that are explained in The Secret Laws of Management.
