Everyone needs to manage. Successful managing means coping with things and getting them done well enough to ensure a successful outcome. It means attainment by design rather than chance. It makes the difference between achieving something to a satisfactory standard and not achieving anything, or only partly doing so. Managing involves a host of disparate activities such as making plans, allocating resources, solving problems, taking decisions, directing operations and maintaining control, each one of which can seem to be an impossible mountain to climb. But, when simplified, these become a series of foothills which are fairly easy to tackle when you know how. This audiobook describes the distance that you are required to cover and the knowledge, skills and attitudes you need to develop to meet the challenge and win first prize.
