A "novel" with a way to learn management skills: Ask Dr. Mac
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
When I became a principal of an elementary school, I had minimal preparation for the position. If only I could have shared the "park bench" with Justin, the main character, then we both could have learned skills from Dr. Mac. I have given copies to a son, who is in a new management position in a bank, and to a daughter who finds managing the household a challenging position, as well. There are new ideas for everyone in this book.
Highly recommend

Ask Dr. Mac is a creative approach that effectively teaches management and leadership skills. (i.e. everyday management issues, conflict resolution, relationship building, reflection using journal, and much more) New supervisors will gain a lot from this book. Experience supervisors can use it as a tool for improvement. Highly recommend as an addition to your leadership library.
This book is a must-read for effective leadership!!!

I highly recommend this book. It's a narriative/story and is easy reading, and has some very important lessons for anyone who is a manager, leader, or team member. I had several "ah-hah!" moments reading it and it has changed my perspective in the workplace. I have a new philosophy on dealing with conflict in the office, taking risks, and being a leader. An excellent tool...well worth it.
