How to Delegate (Essential Managers Series)

Great Book and excellent read for first time managers. The book addresses the risk/fears of delegating and also step by step guide to delegation that is essential for managers and team leads. Must Read!

This book took a few days longer than I thought, but it arrived in good shape. Great price for a good book. Thanks.

Essential Managers books can be overly simple and a bit stiff. Yet, most of the books take a considered, reasonable approach to management topics that I find refreshing. I appreciate the old-fashioned but extremely common-sense approach Heller and Hindle take in this particular book, which doesn't pander to the now-common "throw it into the team and let them hash it out" approach to getting the job done. How to delegate is a must to have on your shelf when you must confront serious basic problems focusing your direct reports on the work at hand. Though I would not use the actual delegation form suggested in this book, the concept has proved useful over and over again.Like all of the Essential Manager books, Dorling Kindersley provides a wonderful, simple user interface, with great formating and lots of charts, diagrams, suggested forms, etc. I advise you to get it, read it, and keep it where you can see it when you start to pull your hair out.
