Managing
The Essence of Managing
Henry Mintzberg appreciates that managers are busy people. So he has taken his classic book Managing , done some updating, and distilled its essence into a lean 176 pages of text.
The essence of the book remains the what Mintzberg learned from observing twenty-nine managers in settings ranging from a refugee camp to a symphony orchestra. Simply Managing considers the intense dynamics of this job as well as its inescapable conundrums, for
• How is anyone supposed to think, let alone think ahead, in this frenetic job?
• Are leaders really more important than managers?
• Where has all the judgment gone?
• Is email destroying management practice?
• How can managers connect when their job disconnects them from what they are managing?
If you read only one book about managing, this should be it!
