Publisher's Synopsis
Management is the art of getting people to do what needs to be done, while keeping them happy and motivated in the process, and this book explains exactly how to do that. "Managing With Intent" provides a simple and easily remembered model for solving managerial problems and managing staff effectively. Managerial problems are always the result of one or more of the following five factors: the clarity of the instruction, the staff member's commitment to the task, his or her self-image, the price that he or she must pay in order to carry out the task, and his or her type of behaviour. The guide unpacks each of these five factors and gives practical ways of mastering them. The model is compelling and elegantly simple so it sticks vividly in the manager's mind. It provides an easy guide to diagnosing problems and implementing solutions that work.
