About this title

From the Author

You've probably observed that lots of CEOs practice "Management by Bestseller."  They hiccup from one hot business book to the next--leaving their loyal, but confused team members wondering where the target is.  So the foundational idea behind Mastering the Management Buckets is to think of leadership and management as a three-legged stool: Cause, Community and Corporation. The 20 buckets (core competencies) fit under one of those arenas--and wise leaders know that you need a balanced approach of all three legs. 

Why 20 buckets/core competencies? Leadership is complex; often chaotic.  We all grow weary of "five ways to do this" and "seven steps to XYZ."  Nonsense. Life is much more messy. That's why no one person can master all 20 core competencies, but a team can and should.  While the book is faith-based (I'm a follower of Jesus), it's not preachy. 

Enjoy your dip into the buckets.
