Do they go offsite, learn new information from a management expert, receive a training manual, or something similar? Most businesses fall into this development category, treating managers as our academic system treats students. The results, unfortunately, consist of short-lived bursts of enthusiasm and little measurable improvement, in part due to the lack of day-to-day applicability and personal accountability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThriving in the Middle\u003c\/em\u003e looks to replace this ineffective version of management development with a more culturally founded, experience-dependent model. Based on decades of leadership experience and breakthrough studies, Mike Cook establishes the case for \"Distributed Development Communities,\" in which application takes place in a near-real-time, experiential environment using actual situations faced. In this model, process-driven development is more frequent and delivered in small doses, and operational-level managers are coached and groomed to become great operational-level managers without the subtext of upward advancement. Learn the attributes and processes of better management improvement. Your bottom line and your front line will thank you for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mike Cook\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0999584006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780999584002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amj Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.38d","brand":"Mike Cook","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44202048454911,"sku":"9780999584002","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a373a46a-b871-4304-ac1a-b391e2b75bb0.jpg?v=1691492926","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/thriving-in-the-middle-mike-cook-9780999584002","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
