Over the past few years, we’ve witnessed a near collapse of our financial system, growing distrust in our political institutions, and mounting stresses in our societal compositions.  Some search for someone to blame, and some of that discussion centers around the conduct and performance of our nation’s managers, whether they work in a bank, an automobile manufacturer, or a government agency.  It is a difficult time to be a manager.

I am convinced, though, that you can learn to be a good manager, without requiring decades of experience and a PhD in organizational management.  All that is needed is a guide—someone or something to shine the light towards a better future, a future that is attainable through the sheer will and hard work of those who want a more fulfilling and honorable future as a manager.  The Good Manager serves as that guide by offering the six basic principles, or fundamentals, that are common to the most effective manager.  They are:

§  Like what you do

§  Knowledgeable about your job and industry

§  Possess solid organizational abilities

§  Work hard

§  Make work fun

§  Be a good person

The most important attribute of this book – the one that will most likely determine your success or failure as a manager – is the ability to be a good person, one who is incredibly kind-hearted, controls their most destructive human emotions, tells the truth, does what’s right, and always looks for the good along the road of life.
