It helps professionals cut through today's work-life chaos and manage their own success. . The Simple-Minded Manager shows you how to: serve yourself-interests; script your own professional mission statement; identify your personal values; make time for what is important to you; sell yourself and your ideas; supervise others and prosper; speak, listen and learn; grow a decisive organization and leave your own legacy. Complex times demand simple-minded leaders. Simplify, simplify, simplify! Excerpt We live in challenging times. We feel that we face issues that people have never faced before. We have longer working lives. We work in a global, interconnected, complicated economy. Technology is changing the way we work everyday. We perceive less job security and a more frenetic way of life. We are caught in the shuffle of being better, faster, and cheaper than the competition. How often we hear the lament, “I don’t know how long I can keep up this pace.” “I can’t keep up with all the technology.” “There’s too much to read and too much to do.” Frustration is running high. Satisfaction is rare. Decisions must be made at the speed of light. But what goes on between the ears is the same as ever before. Human nature hasn’t changed at all. Yet as times change, management and organization development theories become more complex. No one has the time to frame simple, fundamental ideas that bring order to our complex lives. Sometimes it all seems so chaotic.
