Groundbreaking, practical, and enlightening – a pleasure to read! "The Manager's Job" is structured around ten core competencies that define the modern manager in the 21st century, presented in a practical and well-founded manner. It clears up numerous misunderstandings and poses and answers some surprising questions. For example: Why do many trainers recommend feedback at a superficial level? (F. Schulz von Thun) Why do most change projects focus on the wrong issues? (R. Mielke) Why is understanding the unspoken rules of the game far more important than even the best-laid plans? (P. Scott-Morgan) Why should you fire consultants who give you clear answers? (J.G. March) Why can't most managers divide a square into three triangles? (C. Bleis) Why should a matrix organization be streamlined? (G. Lindahl).
