Synopsis

The Honest Truth about Managing

Managing people is one of the toughest jobs in business. Make the right choices, and there is no limit to how you and your business can grow. Make the wrong choices, and there is sure to be trouble ahead. The problem is, no one ever tells you this up front and helps you avoid the pitfalls.

Learn from the experiences of real managers just like you, who have faced the same problems and devised smart solutions. Through stories and lessons from managers who have been there, you'll discover how to handle such situations as:

• My Direct Reports Were Fighting
• I Inherited an Employee Who Hated Me
• The President Tried to Bully Me
• I Fired a Friend
• I Didn't Know What My Bosses Wanted
• Retaining My Workers Was Tough

Know the solutions to tackle any problem.

About this title

From the Author:

I wrote this book because as an entrepreneur I felt alone most of the time.  When I had management problems I didn't know who to turn to.  I realized that most entrepreneurs feel this way. I wanted to tell the stories of entrepreneurs who have survived horrific management experiences so that we all could realize that we are not alone.  There are people who have gone through similar, or even worse, situations than we are experiencing and thrived.

I had been in business for more than 10 years when I wrote this book.  As a result of some of the entrepreneurs who willingly gave their time to help others, I changed many of the ways that I was running my businesses. They have been run better and more profitably as a result.

Thank you to all of the entrepreneurs who shared their stories in hopes that we can help other small business owners.
