The Essential New Manager's Kit - Softcover

Writing for those just beginning careers as managers, Stone (editorial director of the Web sites of the American Management Center) describes the skill sets she believes are essential to doing a good job. Beginning chapters cover planning and budgeting. The discussion then moves to "people management skills," including resume analysis, project delegation, coaching and counseling, and appraisals. Later sections cover communication, managing teams, and handling stress. A final chapter discusses career management. Checklists and self- assessment tools are included throughout.
