Synopsis
THE FOUR ELEMENTS OF SUCCESSFUL MANAGEMENT Select * Direct * Evaluate * Reward As management trends and fads swirl around us, it's easy to lose sight of the basics. In fact, a manager's responsibilities always boil down to selecting, directing, evaluating, and rewarding people. Get these not-so-easy pieces right, and management success is virtually guaranteed. That's why this engaging book will be embraced by seasoned managers and novices alike. It provides a structured framework for developing and fine-tuning the only four skills they ultimately need. For each of the elements, Don Marshall reviews the key issues, discusses the pros and cons of various practices, and offers candid advice on what works best. This lucid approach is both time-saving and liberating: The Four Elements of Successful Management shows managers how to focus on the big picture -- where the major gains are made -- rather than the complicating details. For a succinct and timeless "short course" in the fundamentals of management, no other guide even comes close. DON R. MARSHALL (Lincolnshire, IL) is president of The Marshall Group, a human resources consulting firm. He has more than 30 years of experience in operations and HR management.

Reviews
Marshall, president of a human resources consulting firm, has worked for over 30 years in operations and human relations management. He discusses what he considers to be the four elements of management: selecting, directing, evaluating, and rewarding people. He discusses each in depth, reviews their key aspects, and offers the pros and cons of the practices that work best. Marshall is unimpressed with flavor-of-the-month management theories and other fads and stresses what he feels are the true basics of supervising employees. The book is written in a straightforward style that should appeal to managers at any level. The management elements are discussed succinctly and thoroughly. An index would have been helpful, but the book's arrangement and extensive table of contents make it easy to navigate. Recommended for all public, academic, and corporate libraries.?Littleton M.
