“When it comes to management, Mintzberg’s opinions matter.”

People Management

“Henry Mintzberg’s views are a breath of fresh air which can only encourage the good guys.”

The Observer

For years Henry Mintzberg has asked people what happened the day they became a manager. The response, “almost always puzzled looks, then shrugs. You are supposed to figure it out for yourself. Like sex, I suppose, usually with equally embarrassing initial consequences”.

This book slims down his award-winning work Managing (2009) and provides streamlined advice to help new and experienced managers get it right.

Simply Managing answers questions including:

• How do I deal with the pressures of management?
• What are the most important elements of my job? And how do I get them right?
• How do I connect in a job that’s intrinsically disconnected?
• How do I maintain confidence without becoming arrogant?
• What are the cornerstones of effective management?

It provides thoughtful, yet practical advice from one of the world’s most influential management thinkers.

MAKING SENSE OF THE WORLD’S MOST IMPORTANT JOB.
