Managing Managers for Results
|
Being a manager of managers requires a different, and new, level of management expertise and insight. This decisive transition to enabling managers to achieve results entails handling a greater span of control, and along with this comes greater accountability and more risks. You have to come to terms with being even further removed from the sites where your business is actually happening. Your determination and personal energy need to find ways of permeating through several levels of management

Managing For Results
|
Perhaps the greatest leap in a manager’s career is the first one into management. You have to let go of the comfort of technical excellence and embrace the concept of succeeding through the work of others. These others are dependent on you for direction, coaching, discipline and energy. Their success is your success; and it is your job to ensure they do not fail.

Operations & Supply Chain Management: Achieving Breakthrough Performance
|
Although the world is trying to work itself out of a global recession, global business activity and competition continues to increase. Businesses continue to look to foreign countries as sources of services and products, at lower labour costs, and also as potential markets for finished goods, with supply chains tying together worldwide sources and markets. In fact we live in a world where competition is no longer company versus company; it is supply chain versus supply chain.
