New Book Released

Managing Right for the First Time, by David C. Baker, has just been released by RockBench Press, a publisher of courageous thought leadership content. This 2010 title is written for first-time managers, or for experienced managers who want to do it better. The author worked closely with 600+ companies and interviewed more than 10,000 employees, then summarized the findings in an interesting and eminently readable form. Read this book and you're likely to understand management and leadership like you never have before, but also learn very practical steps toward becoming a better manager and leader. The book contains 21 digestible chapters. Bulk orders should come to RockBench Publishing and individual orders can be placed at Amazon. Read the preface and introduction at firstmanagers.com. Some of the content will be featured at the upcoming MYOB Conference (see Events).
