Management courses don't teach you what you learn here in david shelby kirk's latest book. Drawing on his 50+ years of experience in technology management, the book delves into vital topics for management success that provide the reader with the equivalent of years of experience in being effective in a management position. A person may spend years acquiring a degree in management and be competent in figuring profit and loss, investments, motivation, project management, and more, yet still fail as a manager without this grasp of the fundamentals.
Some of the topics in the book include:
• You and where you fit
• Writing your own job description and why you should do it
• Problems with the open door policy
• Hiring as an art form
• Dealing with office parties and their problems
• Delegating effectively
• Terminating employees and the lessons to learn
• Performance reviews and merit pay
• Meetings and managing them
• The real way to build teams
• Mission statements and why you need one
Kirk emphasizes this is not a book of perfectionism, but a striving for excellence in day-to-day activities and involvement with subordinates and peers. Topics that may seem obvious are treated with a fresh insight that will challenge the reader's views with new perspectives.
