Just in Time Management
Over 950 Practical Lessons Your MBA Professor Didn’t Teach You
Cy Charney
IT’S NOT THAT CY CHARNEY OPPOSES MBA and other types of academic training. It’s just that he feels academic training doesn’t go far enough — that it fails to prepare people for what life as a manager is really like.
Now Charney has published the ninth book in his lifelong campaign to bridge this gap — a gap that he believes is particularly challenging in today’s instant, multi-tasking, change-intensive world of work. In Just-in-Time Management, he shares 950-plus pieces of practical advice under the headings of:
- Be Productive
- Increase Your Influence
- Inspire and Motivate Staff
- Manage Effectively Every Day
- Deal with Employee Challenges
- Lead Strategically
- Take Care of Yourself
