How can you succeed in a managerial position when the demands of managing employees diminish your love of your leadership role?
In her new book, “Managing for People Who Hate Managing: Be a Success by Being Yourself,” author Devora Zack helps managers discover the kind of management style that best suits their strengths while fulfilling their employees’ needs. Devora reassures managers that the best managers are the ones who are themselves in the office, who embrace their natural identity and lead with it. She categorizes managers as “thinkers” – those who primarily think to make decisions – and “feelers” – those who primarily feel to make decisions – and explains how thinking versus feeling influences an executive’s approaches to daily conflict and decision making.
The book also touches on the need for flexibility in the workplace so that a manager can effectively motivate different employees with a variety of skills and ambitions.
The book is available on www.800ceoread.com for $14.36.
