  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.
