{"product_id":"perfect-management-david-shelby-kirk-9781723516221","title":"Perfect Management: Your Guidebook to Managerial Success","description":"Management courses don't teach you what you learn here in david shelby kirk's latest book. Drawing on his 50+ years of experience in technology management, the book delves into vital topics for management success that provide the reader with the equivalent of years of experience in being effective in a management position. A person may spend years acquiring a degree in management and be competent in figuring profit and loss, investments, motivation, project management, and more, yet still fail as a manager without this grasp of the fundamentals. Some of the topics in the book include: - You and where you fit - Writing your own job description and why you should do it - Problems with the open door policy - Hiring as an art form - Dealing with office parties and their problems - Delegating effectively - Terminating employees and the lessons to learn - Performance reviews and merit pay - Meetings and managing them - The real way to build teams - Mission statements and why you need one Kirk emphasizes this is not a book of perfectionism, but a striving for excellence in day-to-day activities and involvement with subordinates and peers. Topics that may seem obvious are treated with a fresh insight that will challenge the reader's views with new perspectives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Shelby Kirk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1723516228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781723516221\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/16\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.40d","brand":"David Shelby Kirk","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48587864572159,"sku":"9781723516221","price":16.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/perfect-management-david-shelby-kirk-9781723516221","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
