Page 8 - Becoming a Successful Manager

A Note from

the Authors

THE PURPOSE OF THIS BOOK is to help you, as a new manager,
quickly assimilate some of the basic knowledge you must have
and actions you must put into practice in order to succeed. For

you to gain maximum benefit from the material, we recommend
that you keep a manager’s journal. In it, note the thoughts, ideas,
and insights you generate while reading. A manager’s journal is
also an excellent place to record your completed exercises, which
are presented throughout these chapters, as well as other useful
reminders and information that will help you become the out-
standing manager you have the potential to be.
