Description
Following the successful Think Like a Lawyer Don’t Act Like One, we now present a book that offers, in the same format, 75 extremely short and visual management lessons.
Like the lawyer, the manager is a professional with whom many people have problems. Mistakes that managers make while managing people tend to fall into similar patterns—and they are all bad. This book will clarify those patterns in a very simple way to help the reader avoid the mistakes that many managers make.
The book is divided into 5 sections: doing the good things (leadership), doing things good (organizing), doing things together (collaboration), doing things for the future (strategy), and doing things differently (the end of management, as we know it).
Harry Starren is the former CEO of de Baak VNO-NCW, the premier leadership development institute in the Netherlands. He is a recognised expert on leadership and entrepreneurship, and is widely acclaimed as a publicist, lecturer, and facilitator. In this capacity, he works at building on his previous successes in merging innovation with entrepreneurship.
Harry Starren is an active member of a number of supervisory boards and acts as an adviser on innovation to large European organisations.
