| Summary: | The second edition of this bestselling handbook brings together the expertise of thirty-three specialists. Between them they cover the whole range of personal skills needed by today's managers. The original text has been radically revised and updated, and a complete section has been added on how to run important specialized functions. Part I deals with personal skills and includes chapters on self-development and career planning. Part II covers "people skills", including leadership, teambuilding and communication. Part III - new for this edition - looks at the particular problems of managing departments such as production, personnel, marketing and finance. Part IV addresses the skills required for running a successful business. Each chapter contains an introduction and detailed guidelines and ends with a checklist of key points and suggestions for further reading. For the practicing manager - or the would-be manager - Handbook of Management Skills represents a one-book library which, wisely used, cannot fail to improve effectiveness.
