Foreword from the publishing partner
An MBA in Your Pocket: A Practical Guide to Developing Key Management Skills is not a substitute for all training courses that are related to personal and organizational leadership. But the author did not set himself such a task.
A practical guide is unlikely to replace the great variety of fundamental works and training courses that exist on the topics covered in the chapters of this textbook. But at the same time, practical guidance can be safely recommended to both novice managers and experienced managers.
Novice managers will receive well-structured material that will allow them to create a systematic picture of their further development and give an idea of the next steps in self-development.
Experienced managers who have completed various training courses will appreciate the structure of the information provided in the manual. This structuring will help to bring order to your own knowledge, evaluate your experience, draw up a “map of white spots”, identify needs for further improvement and outline a plan for developing your competencies.
Thus, while the Key Management Skills Development Practical Guide is a fairly concise overview textbook, the book provides a general picture that can be used to develop skills in a targeted manner, regardless of the reader's current qualifications.
In addition to the general structure of the presentation of the material, I would like to draw attention to the practicality of the material presented. The material is presented without excessive theorizing. Knowledge, although given in a fairly concise form, but at the same time they can be applied immediately after reading.
The clear structure, the comprehensive approach to the presentation, which touches upon the whole range of company management issues, and the practicality of the materials allow me to recommend the "Practical Guide to Developing Key Management Skills" with pleasure to both beginners and experienced managers.
