About this title

Synopsis

Taking that first step into management requires a radical adjustment to the way in which you work. Where you were once responsible for just your own work, now you have responsibility for that of others. Management positions may come with a wide range of titles, such as sales manager, supervisor or foreman, but the pressures of planning for others, bearing responsibility for their actions, handling suppliers and dealing with more experienced colleagues are common to all. ""The First-Time Manager,"" now fully revised, is an accessible guide to dealing with the immediate difficulties you will face in your new role. It is also an introduction to the fundamental management skills that you will need to master throughout this new phase in your career, including how to: * Communicate effectively; * Delegate; * Understand finance and accounting; * Manage people; * Analyse your organization's future; * Realize your own potential. Both a practical manual and desktop aid, ""The First-Time Manager"" is a book to be read and then referred back to whenever you need support.
