The No-Nonsense Manager’s Playbook

The No-Nonsense Manager’s Guide: A Guide for Leaders Who Need Answers Now uses the latest research to show managers how to deal effectively with their employees, bosses, peers, customers, and unions; how to hire and retain the best employees; new research on the effectiveness of electronic brainstorming meetings; all you need to know to be successful at coaching and mentoring; the misunderstood importance of recognition and appreciation; methods to improve the level of employee engagement and why it is critical for productivity and retention; how to improve your bottom line by embracing diversity and inclusion; how to be the best manager possible; why women are better managers; and more.  It is specifically written for millennial and Gen-Zer managers who prefer microlearning: information that is concise, quickly understood, and ready to apply immediately.  Most chapters are five pages or less and use the bullet format throughout. Just turn to the chapter that deals with your question, and you will find the steps to get the results you want. This book tells you what to do and how to do it.
