Aspiring Manager's Survival Guide: How to Achieve Success and Career Fulfilment in a Changing Workplace

by Mike Johnson (Author)

Synopsis

The Aspiring Manager's Survival Guide is an investigation into the new working world and how managers can survive in it. Using in-depth interviews, ideas and research based on senior business executives and consultants, this book shows individual managers how to assess their options, realize their potential, and create a sense of self-motivation. Mike Johnson brings a practical, impartial and positive tone to the debate on tomorrow's work patterns. Johnson looks at: * Why organisations are rebuilding hierarchies and pyramids - but with different people * Why new knowledge-based, multi-skilled networks are taking business from traditional firms * How you fit in to it all Each chapter concludes with an evaluation questionnaire, allowing readers to rate themselves and their prospects against a final summary at the end of the book. Whether you're getting out, staying in or going it alone, The Aspiring Manager's Survival Guide explains how you can do it.
