AAAdroitly-ZZZeros-in on what managers need to know!

This is a quick reference and practical guide for managers dealing with an extremely broad range of issues and problems. Each issue is presented followed by approaches for solving the problem and preventative measures to avoid it in the future. This book is useful and to-the-point. It should be of exceptional value to those new to the ranks of management, but even those with stripes and stars will find value in this work. Recommended.
