The Strategic Middle Manager

How to Create and Sustain Competitive Advantage

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A compelling argument for the efficacy of the middle manager. This book argues that companies -- in their quest to become leaner and meaner -- have eliminated the very positions that once made them successful. And it provides hands-on tools for middle managers looking to increase their value and secure their future.
