Chapter 6: Management
Guiding and directing the people around you.
Management is the punching bag of leadership crowd. They say the discipline is boring and uninspiring. The cool kids don't like admitting how essential it is to any organization. Management is the blocking and tackling of business, and the books that we think are the best address the interpersonal dynamics of groups both big and small. It's about time that management got a little respect.
