Jumia Books Rules Of Management

Described as a definitive code for managerial success, this book provides 100 rules – a blend of serious advice tinged with a fair dollop of cynicism. It is divided into managing your team and managing yourself.Managing your team points include:~ Get them emotionally involved (many manage aloofly)
~ Set realistic targets (how often does this happen?)
~ Hold effective meetings (when were you last in one of these?)
~ Offload as much as you can – or dare (the art of delegation)
~ Be ready to prune (this is the tough bit)
~ Take the rap (even tougher)
~ Be ready to say yes (other think saying no is equally important)
Managing yourself points include:~ Have a game plan, but keep it secret (a bit odd this – most would publicise it)
~ Be consistent (how many managers change their mind all the time?)
~ Get rid of superfluous rules (slightly ironic in a book that offers 100 of them)
~ Learn from your mistakes (as opposed to repeating the same ineffective stuff)
~ Manage your health (do you have a stressed out ?)
~ Don’t stagnate (hanging frantically onto a job is bad for all)
