Description
This guide takes a look at the traditional "macho" styles of management still widespread in many workplaces, and the reasons for their persistence. This book shows how more co-operative alternatives which merge feminine and masculine qualities can be more effective and productive. It contains practical advice about being a good mamager - setting a good example, getting the best from your workforce without resorting to aggression, listening to your staff and including them in your leadership. The book suggests avoiding the "status game", but standing your ground when you need to. Real-life examples help explore and define the issues. Paddy O'Brien is the author of "Learning From Experience" "Self-Defence for Everyday" and "Managing Two Careers".
