Winner of the ‘Practical Manager’ category at the Chartered Management Institute Management Book of the Year Awards.
Rebecca Taylor, the Dean and Director of Studies at the Open University Business School, explained why the book deserved to win:
“This book was a delight to read and was a highly refreshing approach to the world of management. The ‘big’ ideas have been boiled down into easily-digestible chunks that are perfect either as an introduction or a refresher for the more experienced manager. The personal writing style and lack of preaching makes it a brilliant desk-side companion for a manager of any level, and I highly recommend it.”
