Just Manage It! The YOU Factor: If You Cannot Manage Yourself You Cannot Manage Others

If you cannot manage yourself you should not be allowed manage others. Business schools often fail us on this front. Business and management books generally start in the wrong place - ignoring the person who is seeking to lead or manage. This book avoids making that error. Beginning at the correct and proper starting place - with YOU, the person - this book will quickly take you from self-awareness to observation of others and on to a critical look at so much of the business world's conventional and misplaced wisdom. Your journey will be a rounded one, taking in areas of business, management, philosophy, psychology, sociology, observation, and reflection. This book is packed with dynamic new models and frameworks, groundbreaking concepts and insightful wisdom. Business and Management schools don't teach you how to manage people, or yourself, in an effective manner; nor are they teaching the crucial principles contained within this book - the first in the 'Just Manage It!' series. If you want to manage others effectively, first learn to manage yourself. Some of the key topics touched upon include: Creating Context Intelligent Managers Our Over-Obsession with Leaders Positive Consistency The Co-Activity Syndrome All Blame Migrates Warping the Psychological Contract Listening Fitness Context Awareness The Importance of Politics, Ego, and Confrontation
