Managing to Manage: The Essential Guide to People Management

Management essentials for non-HR professionals.

If you find yourself in a managerial role but don't come from a background in HR or traditional management, "Managing to Manage" might just be the guidebook you need. It's crafted especially for professionals like you—be it in science, engineering, law, or any other field where managing a team isn't your primary expertise. Derek Torrington translates complex management principles into practical, everyday strategies, helping you to lead effectively without having to become an HR expert.
