Description
Managers are rarely fired for incompetence - and many of the fired executives were actually considered good performers by their superiors. This book helps every manager and professional understand and deal with a pervasive business reality most of us regard as inconceivable - until it happens. Richard Gould explains the situations most apt to lead a manager down a collision course with superiors. His findings also show why managers who get fired almost never recognize the danger they're in until it's too late. Sacked shows how to anticipate trouble and take positive steps to solve the problem, whether it's a personality clash, conflicting strategies or ideals, or differing views of the manager's role. In addition, the book also gives managers 16 steps for taking control of their work and work relationships, and a special chapter on creative solutions and alternatives to firing good talent.
