Harvard Business Review on Becoming a High-Performance Manager

The Harvard Business Review Paperback Series is a must-read for any professional looking to work more effectively and become a better manager.

With offerings ranging from timeless classics to innovative, cutting-edge ideas, this collection provides busy managers with strategies for effective time and stress management, as well as insights into what a manager's job really entails.

The best of these papers are the most prosaic, pinpointing common people-management mistakes made by rookie managers and warning of the damage caused by superficial managerial nostrums.

Other selections include tips on diet, weight-training, and "spiritual capacity," as well as a round-table discussion of leadership experts mixing vague talk of managerial "vision" with primatology.

This anthology makes it clear that being a good manager is still more art than science, but with the Harvard Business Review Paperback Series, you'll have the information and insights you need to succeed in today's fast-moving world.
