The Winning Manager

The Winning Manager describes ‘practical situations’ in corporate management, with ‘practical approaches’ to address them. The book deals with various management issues: from interviews and interviewers to job transfers to communication problems, and, finally, whether one should choose to be an entrepreneur or remain safe under a corporate umbrella. The author goes beyond the theory of management to what really happens in the corporate world, as he dips into his vast experience of 50 years to teach with examples and cases. It will be of greatest value to those who have just finished management studies, or those already working for some time in corporations—public or private sector or NGOs.   INDICE: PrefaceIntroductionI: STARTING OUTOn the Threshold—Start of the Work Phase of LifeSketching out a Grand Career Design—Fixing the MilestonesApplications that Work—And why some don'tPlaying the Interview Game—When basics are Often ForgottenNegotiating the Interview—Insights into the Minds of InterviewersFollowing up on Interviews—How Far will you Push?Choosing an Employer—Look Before You LeapWithstanding Pressures—A Formidable ChallengeKnowing the CEO—The CEO Casts a ShadowThe First Job Change—A Major HurdleBe Wary of Titles—They can be MisleadingUnderstanding Long-Term Gains—Look Beyond the HorizonII: DEVELOPING SKILLS AND ABILITIESGetting on with Your Boss—An On-Going ChallengeA Mentor can Help You Succeed—Makes the Journey EasierDon’t let Accidents Derail You—They can be Opportunities in DisguiseLittle Things Show Up—And Reveal the Real PersonBeneficial Associations—Using the Power of SynergyEnhancing Career Options with Networking—Extending the ReachGrabbing Opportunities—Needs Grasp and ReachThe Importance of Being a Team Player—Leveraging the Power of ManyBecoming an Effective Manager—And not Just an Efficient ManagerOpportunities to Learn—They are Many and VariedThe Need to Learn/Unlearn/Relearn—A life-Long PursuitManagement of Time—A Key Element for SuccessEffective Communication—The Hub of Fayol’s WheelTaking Notes—Useful Backup to MemoryBlocking Communication—I Know it Already!Communicating Facts Without Tact—You Could be Right, the Wrong Way!Separating Issues from Persons—The Art of DiscernmentDithering on Decisions—A Major Disability with ManyHow to Motivate People—And Keep Them MotivatedThe Need for Creativity—Innovation is the Gold KeyLearning from Job Transfers—Travel is EducationPerseverance Pays—In the Long RunIII: ATTITUDES AND VALUESIs Business Etiquette Outdated?—These are Lubricants that help Human InteractionsIndiscretion can harm Others—Hallmark of Poor ManagersIndiscretion can even Harm You—Shooting Yourself in the FootA Question of Trust—Creates Followers for LeadersKeeping your word—Is Being True to YourselfBuilding Credibility—Helps Create ReputationsMaking and Breaking of Reputations—The Long and the Short of itPeer Group Pressures—Can be OverpoweringThe Limits of Honesty—Challenge of Black and White and Shades of GreyTolerance for Corruption—Getting used to Seeing Weeds, not FlowersGifts—Giving and Receiving—Making it Innocuous, both WaysGreater Expectations from Others—It is Futile to expect gratitudeA Yearning for Solitude—Learning to be Alone, Not LonelyAre you Doing well?—The Answer can Spark Sympathy or JealousyFooling People at Work—Some of the People, Some of the TimeWith a Little Bit of Luck—Fortunes Can Change!Values and the Executive—Some Things are Unchangeable, Even in a Changing WorldShould you be in Business?—With the Right Nature and Nurture, You ShouldCharacter and Self-Discipline—The Foundation for LeadershipThe Protective Umbrella—For Many, the Grass is Greener Here
