Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Middle Management Survival Guidec is intended to be a survival guide for anyone who calls him or herself a middle manager. All too often the wisdom that flows to the middle managers of this world descends from the lofty heights of academia. By point of contrast, Middle Management Survival Guide c flows from the trenches where middle managers carry out their craft. It is a book grounded in common sense and aimed at creating a world-view and mindset for middle managers that will enable them to better combat the daunting forces arrayed against them. From the perspective of a middle manager this survival guide describes the impossibility of the workplace and the paucity of the tools traditionally available to managers. Most importantly this book provides specific strategies, attitudes and values that will help managers maintain balance and sanity while improving their overall performance as managers. The author has worked as a middle manager for the past twenty years. Tasting both the sweet fruit of success as well as the bitter gall of failure he has acquired a unique insider's view of the daunting task faced by those who call themselves middle managers.

Book excerpt: The Middle Man is the first of a 3 part series. It's simply a survival guide for corporate warriors who happen to have landed somewhere in the organizational middle between Senior Leadership and the Workforce. Miller believes people remember things five ways; - Visual presentation - Personal experience - Participation in successful experiences - Participation in disastrous experiences - and last, but not least, a good old fashioned story. Included within are tools and theory to support you in your pledge to move your company forward. The tools covered in this part of the series are the "Initiative Quadrant" and "The Onion." The "Initiative Quadrant" is a work / project readiness and leadership communication tool which presents senior leadership and the workforce with a single page representation of business value, risks and costs associated with all current and planned initiatives within the organization. The "Onion" is a easy to use and administer staffing methodology which helps management and senior leadership understand the nuts and bolts of supporting all products within your portfolio. These tools help to constantly and consistently answer questions that keep your organization fit and prepared for supporting your organization in abundant or lean times alike; What are all our folks working on, and why? Are our operational and capital budgets being spent on the right initiatives? Are the teams working on competitive and absolutely necessary initiatives? Are our staffing levels right to support these initiatives as well as current solutions? Miller's years of experience in the technology field, and over a quarter century of management responsibility in large international companies, combined with his down to earth story telling abilities, help us to understand how to continually deliver solid business support. His methodologies will help guarantee alignment of "the right folks" working on "the right initiatives" to keep your company ahead of the competitive tsunami.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the author of the bestselling Bad Attitude Survival Guide (more than 40,000 copies sold), named one of the top business books of 1998 by Executive Book Summaries Everyone thinks they know what micromanagement is, but this book presents a specific, detailed definition illustrated with concrete examples Offers successful strategies for overcoming your own micromanaging behavior and for responding when you are being micromanaged Micromanagement is one of the most widely condemned managerial sins, and one of the most common employee complaints. It results in significant direct, indirect, and hidden costs to organizations, contributing to low morale, high turnover, inefficiency, instability, and lack of continuity. And being perceived as a micromanager can have a significant negative impact on your career. But what, precisely, is micromanagement? More importantly, what can be done about it? In My Way or the Highway, Harry Chambers proves that micromanagement can be objectively identified and successfully resisted, both by those who (often unknowingly) inflict it and by those who are its victims. In an informal, entertaining style Chambers describes five specific defining traits of micromanagers: placing their own self interest above everything else; controlling and manipulating time; attempting to determine exactly how everything must be done; requiring elaborate approval processes; and establishing dysfunctional monitoring and reporting requirements. He even provides a Micromanagement Potential Indicator test so you can see whether (and to what extent) you might be a micromanager. He then devotes a chapter to each trait, providing real-world examples of the trait in action and an analysis of the damage it does. But this is not just a book of diagnosis-Chambers provides treatment as well. He devotes several chapters how to respond if you are the micromanagee (a victim of micromanagement), how to eliminate your own micromanaging behaviors, and what to do if you have to manage a micromanager. Avoiding micromanagement should be a major goal of every manager, would-be manager, team member, or collaborative peer. My Way or the Highway offers detailed, actionable, field-tested strategies that will eliminate the damage that overcontrolling behavior causes and increase creativity, risk-taking, productivity, and initiative in any organization.

Book excerpt: Allow me to blast a ray of sunshine through the murky clouds hovering over advertising agencies and marketing departments alike. If you've got talent, I can keep you from rolling an embarrassing string of gutter balls. Chew With Your Mind Open is here to make it make sense to the degree that advertising ever will. The politics. The personalities. The nonstop problems in need of smart and effective solutions. I was lucky. I had a great thinker in my corner for over two decades. A rock-solid, real-live 24/7 mentor. My father, Guy Day, knew the advertising racket well and was no stranger to remarkable creative work. He co-founded Chiat/Day as a writer and was the agency's president, twice. My dad helped inspire some of the best advertising of the 20th century, Apple's "1984" Super Bowl spot for example. He also inspired me. What my father gave me, is what I'm now ready to give you. Just enough big-picture guidance to be dangerous. My advice can keep you from falling into unproductive time-sucks and sinking in conceptual quicksand. I'll help you avoid the chronic wallowing, unneeded politicking, and blame game that's all too common in the business. I'll help you develop good habits that will serve you well in the worst of times. Throughout my book, I'll share how I got -- and still get -- my best thinking through the gauntlet without collecting a huge assortment of knives in my back. Granted, a few of them will be unavoidable. I'll address that part, too. My knowledge comes from real-life experiences, and my book is broken down by subject and is served one easily digestible nugget at a time. Sometimes my experiences are funny, other times embarrassing, but they always reveal an underlying truth and a learning opportunity that could spare you some scar tissue. Along the way, readers will be in the room with me as I present work, defend it, debate clients, and push the best thinking forward.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nurses are already nurse managers. They must manage patient caseloads and care plans as well as supervise aides, technicians, and other care providers. But moving from this type of organic management to a defined nurse manager role is not a natural progression. Nurse managers must command a vast, diverse, and robust skill set, and those skills must first be defined, explained, and operationalized for success. In an environment that offers new managers little support, where do they turn? The Nurse Manager’s Survival Guide (4th Ed.) provides an overview of a nurse manager’s major roles and responsibilities—all the fundamentals needed for success in one easy-to-use, consolidated, practical reference. From tips on building the right team to budgeting basics, time-management tools, and advice on taking care of one’s self (and their team), author Tina Marrelli supplies the resources nurse managers need to excel in day-to-day operations.
