Managers who lead

Disaster Network verdict:

Although designed for health manager's this is a truly fantastic book for any manager, with a comprehensive set of management tools. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Publisher's description:

Health program managers everywhere grapple with the same challenges: Tackling complex health problems with limited resources. Defining priorities. Inspiring staff. Initiating change. Demonstrating measurable results.

Managers Who Lead empowers health managers at all levels of an organization to lead teams to face challenges and achieve results. It answers questions such as: How do I create a shared vision of better health and a clear plan for achieving it? What can I do to improve work climate? How can I prepare myself and others for higher levels of responsibility? How do I lead change inside and outside my organization?
