The Effective Manager: Completely Revised and Updated Hardback - 2023

In the newly revised Second Edition of The Effective Manager, a team of veteran trainers of managers and executives deliver exactly what you need to do and say to get better results from your team in a concise, practical and insightful work. You'll enjoy better relationships with your team members, improve your chances of being promoted, and increase trust with those you lead.

In the book, you'll discover concrete, hands-on advice for what to do as the manager of co-located and remotely located teams. You'll learn why managing the latter is significantly harder--but still doable--and you'll find data-driven advice that's been proven to work in the real world.

This isn't a book about "bird's-eye" or "big picture" strategy. It's not a book that's going to tell you to be "strategic," "candid," or "impactful." In fact, it won't tell you to be anything. Instead, it'll tell you what to do and say in situations in which the vast majority of managers find themselves on a daily basis. You'll find out how to introduce your ideas to your team, how to counter their concerns, how to ensure your instructions are followed, and how to strike a balance between flexibility and steady leadership.

The Effective Manager is written by a team with extensive experience in management, specifically for working managers seeking actionable, practical guidance on how to do the most important part of their jobs--managing people--well. It's an indispensable resource from one of the world's leading business voices that is guaranteed to make you a better manager.
