Excellent Basic Management SkillsMar 14, 2007
I was just promoted to Manager, and this book has been a very useful tool.
It provides very easy to understand concepts and guides you on both basic and advanced managerial skills that you need to develop or improve in order to become a better manager.
Almost every page that I read on it can be applied to my day to day activities as a manager.
Managing for Dummies is a Manager's must have.
