Mastering Management
You know the mantra - the
world isn't standing still and nor are the ideas, skills and knowledge you need as a
manager - but, what are you doing about it?
The first tenet of management
should be "never stop learning," but the sheer abundance of new management ideas
and the
complexity of modern business
makes it hard to amass the breadth of knowledge you need to advance your career.
Mastering Management 2.0 is
the antidote; a new set of perspectives from the best management brains from around the
world.
