Managing Yourself

Based on the principle that to be able to organize others, one has to be able to organize oneself, this book is designed to empower individuals and encourage them to act. Managing "from the inside out" involves developing oneself in four main areas: health (physical, emotional and mental), skills (conceptual, social and technical), action (pro-activity, getting things done, taking risks and initiatives) and identify (self-awareness and understanding, self-acceptance and self-motivation). From self-management the readers are taken through various approaches to managing other people and finally to influencing and developing organizations. Containing case studies, worked examples and activities, this book is aimed at managers committed to their own self-development and the development of those for whom they are responsible.
