This is an important book in an area that has received little attention, that of the first-time management experience. Written by practicing managers, it covers management basics well. Topics include planning, delegating, performance appraisal, building a career, managing both employees and the boss, running meetings, and managing conflict. Further readings are suggested on every topic. Highly recommended for business collections.
