New management book unlike any other

The Art of Managing People by Asking Questions:

New management book unlike any other

Most people appreciate the difference grandparents made in their lives. While their parents are much more concerned with how a child should be, their grandparents have the patience to create the space for the child to become who they really are. Basically it is the felt difference between emotional stress and emotional support.

The same is true for management books. Most management book authors are like parents, telling the child how it needs to be. And managers are like children, wanting to live up to expectations. Do you have friends or relatives who are a manager? Do you feel they could use some emotional support? After all, being a manager is quite often a challenge, and sometimes it is more than one can bear. These are the times when they need some kind of support.

Here’s the good news. My friend and mentor, Frank Kanu, has published a management book that will bring your manager friend the emotional support (s)he sometimes needs. Here’s an example:

“When there’s no plan, deadlines are missed, budgets are overextended, customers are unhappy, employees are angry and exhausted, and managers have to clean up the mess.”
(p128)

I remember the time when i was an employee, and i read “the Dilbert Principle” by Scott Adams. And for the first time in my life i felt the emotional support, coming right out of this book.

This book by Frank Kanu, “Stop Telling… Start Leading!” is such a book. If you would like to give your friend the emotional support that you think (s)he deserves, then by all means, buy the book and give it to her or to him. The book is available from Amazon.com.

As a gift for you, i will throw in a free PDF version of my own book Bilocality and the inner world of attention. I feel that this way, we’ve all done just this little extra, to help those who need us most.

Let’s continue improving our life and those we care about.
Warmest regards, Ron
