Recognize This! –There are great resources on how to manage better. And now they’re all in one place.

Do you ever wish you could have an easy-to-hand resource of the best management advice from the people you follow in blogs? I know I do. I follow many excellent bloggers and have read and internalized sound management advice over the last many years. Yet there are many times I wish I could have quickly referenced the wisdom of these many others.

Now I can – and so can you. The American Society for Training and Development has just issued a new book that does just this. Edited by Lisa Haneberg, The ASTD Management Development Book brings together the best authors in the space, including some of my personal favorites:

Jeffrey Pfeffer
Wally Bock
Bret Simmons
Tony Schwartz
Kevin Eikenberry
Steve Roesler
CV Harquail
David Zinger

The book is easy to navigate with sections on fundamental ideas, culture building, teamwork, and management as a social act. Some of my favorite chapters are:

The Way We’re Working Isn’t Working: More and More, Less and Less
Positively Using Your Power
Who Says There’s No Crying in Leadership
Are SMART Goals Dumb?
Unmanaging the Network

The book is available in hardcover and eBook formats through the ASTD website. I strongly encourage anyone with a desire to improve their management skills (or the skills of others) to read the book … and not just because my CEO Eric Mosley and I are featured in it, too.

You can hear some of this in action today on my webinar this afternoon with Katie Scott, compensation director at LSI. Register now!
