About this ebook
Fat books and academic over-writing suggest that only the college-educated can be managers. NOT! What does it really take to lead a group to great performance? Here's the answer, based on observations of 100s of top managers, doing things that mirror the textbooks, but making it look simple -- and human! You can do this stuff. You can be a star manager, and your people will love you. Seriously!
