The Savvy Manager

Managing people effectively is difficult, and the best practitioners understand that it is more art than science. The Savvy Manager embraces this notion while challenging readers to develop five core strengths all great managers possess. According to the authors, savvy managers self-manage (recognize their own core values), reflect (quietly contemplate and think without judgment), act consciously (wisely choose their actions), collaborate (extend respect to all employees), and evolve (constantly grow and learn). To help you on this learning journey, the authors provide valuable signage including real-time case studies, tips in the form of savvy translation, use it or lose it, and reflection sidebars. Supplied are dozens of worksheets, exercises, and a companion website to help put what you learn into action.

This connection allowed for less communication needed and the past experience lended to ease of locating the jargon the audience would look for in the index.
