Star Manager Mantras
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
As the manager, when someone in our team talks about a “problem” they want to “run past us”, the monkey (in other words, the problem) is very clearly on their back. But when we respond with something like “Well, I haven’t got time right now, but leave it with me”, the monkey immediately leaps from their shoulders to ours. And now this monkey will keep on sitting on your back. If this happens to you every day or often then soon you will be carrying a cage-full of monkeys on your back. Not only you will end up reducing your discretionary time but you will be required to feed and care for the monkeys you’ve acquired.

About the Book
“Behaving like a manager means having command of the whole range of management skills and applying them as they become appropriate.”—Herbert Simon Most of the books written to date are related to leadership, but there are hardly any books for managers. A business does not run with leaders only; it requires effective and efficient managers also. The first and foremost step for becoming a star manager is to think big and have a vision in front of you. This vision should be aligned to your organization’s overall vision. Working with TEAM can only help us in achieving our vision. Therefore, it is extremely important for you to create a winning team and receive the best from your team. But managing a team effectively, efficiently, and achieving best collective effort from your team is a skill. As a manager, it is essential that you have this skill. The function of this book is to teach you this skill by sharing tools, techniques, and theories alongside practical experiences in real world situations. Besides helping budding managers, this book can be a handy guide for seasoned managers also as it will refresh the learning they had in due course of time.
