Managing For Dummies (For Dummies Series)

As a first time manager, I find myself coming back to this book for different concerns often. It's a great foundation to begin understanding this role

Work guide book for my grandson.

Easy to read, good definitions, and simple language make this book an adequate choice for those trying to enter management. There are a nice amount of buzz words so you can grab on to the lingo in your workplace. Read it from cover to cover and you'll know if you want to manage people or not, if you have the ability to recognize another's ability or if you're just a chump who should never inflict himself on anyone ever.

i am a new manager to be and after reading this book, it opens new angle for me to see how the work as manager should be. i used to be a worker, the book taugt me to shift my persepective from technical worker to people management.

I teach Management Essentials (like Intro to Management) and it's an excellent base resource. Very good for active managers as a reference.

I was just promoted to Manager, and this book has been a very useful tool. It provides very easy to understand concepts and guides you on both basic and advanced managerial skills that you need to develop or improve in order to become a better manager. Almost every page that I read on it can be applied to my day to day activities as a manager. Managing for Dummies is a Manager's must have.

Never found a managing book for my industry, Interior plant care and this is surely not it either. Way to much BS, just too wordy with out that much real info......

Nice

My manager acted even more like a dummy after being offered this book

This book was worth every dollar. It was well written and a excellent book to read. It's has a bit of everything you need to know to be a better manager. It has a lot of learning tool for a person to learn from.

I bought this book as I was on a management course and needed something to assist me with my assignments. This book covered nearly every module and was ideal as reference material. It tells you just what you need without going on and on. I would definately recommend this book.

Enfin un livre qui aborde le management comme l'art de déléguer, soutenir, guider et encourager les gens dont vous êtes le ou la responsable. Vous luttez avec des concepts bizarre comme celui d'autorité, de légitimité, de stature, de positionnement??? Allez hop, à la trappe! Ce livre évacue complètement ces faux problèmes. On change de perspective. Maintenant vous oubliez votre égo ou même votre complexe d'infériorité, vous êtes juste un rouage dans un truc énorme qui doit fonctionner, vous êtes ni mieux ni moins bien que les autres : votre rôle c'est simplement de faire bosser les autres et ça s'apprend! Donc on arrête de jouer les gros bras, de blâmer ses subordonnés "incompétents" et on apprend dans ce livre que si vos agents bossent mal...C'est que vous ne faites pas bien votre boulot!!! Vous allez aborder votre taf purement et entièrement sous l'angle à la fois humble, humain et pratico-pratique de comment je peux faire pour faire travailler mes collaborateurs, et les faire évoluer dans leur carrière, de manière efficace et humaine. Des exemples utiles à foison, de l'humour...tout pour apprendre joyeusement que manager, c'est beaucoup beaucoup beaucoup d'astuces et de finesse pour que le monde du travail soit rationnel, sain, et productif!
