Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every organization, business, and manager is unique, and each demands an individually tailored management style. Supposedly universal management strategies must be tailored to suit the specific situations that each individual faces daily in the work environment. This book provides a theoretical and practical foundation for the adaptation and tailoring of a universal management style into a specific, effective style with the power to produce the desired results. It assists the manager, or would-be manager, in the development of a management style that meets the needs of any kind of business. Each chapter begins with a case study illustrating a typical problem followed by questions and answers about the presented challenges. The chapters also contain thought provoking one-sentence suggestions that can be immediately immplemented, enabling the reader to produce results and succeed in today's rapidly-evolving economic and technological environments. This work combines the best and latest in management theory with tested practical applications, making it a useful tool for managers not only in technically-orientated industries, but in any kind of company. Based upon the author's more than 25 years of experience in management consulting, writing, lecturing, and teaching, this work is designed to help readers handle the demanding responsibilities of technical management. It features important information in dealing with international firms, contracts, TQ, ISO 9000, and CAD management. It also provides essential details on personal liability and ethics in decision making, motivating employees, leadership, and creating teams. The Technical Manager's Handbook serves as a valuable, cross-method reference for engineers, scientists, researchers, and students who are or soon will be involved in technical management operations. Managers in quality assurance, manufacturing, administration, and computer manufacturing will also benefit from this volume's accessible and applicable exploration of pertinent issues.

Book excerpt: This handbook is the practical guide to becoming a great manager. It covers all the major topics including hiring, coaching, feedback, one-on-ones, and decision making. It also covers some of softer, but equally important, topics like conflict resolution and mental health. Great management changes lives. In fact, it's one of the most single overlooked pieces of leverage in the world. Great managers are remembered like great teachers, inspirations who help others soar. That's why it's such a shame management training is so often overlooked. Successful individual-contributors are rewarded with a 'promotion' into management and then, more often than not, left to sink or swim. If you're a new manager, this book will shine a friendly light on the road ahead. And if you're an old dog, perhaps it'll teach you a trick or two. This handbook was written by Alex MacCaw and stress-tested at a company called Clearbit.

Book excerpt: John Care and Chris Daly lay out the 3+1 rules of SE Leadership. A simple framework designed for everyone - from SEs thinking about moving into management to the newest of new SE Managers to a Global SE Vice President. This is a fascinating blend of tactical and strategic advice based on 30+ years of experience and many years of running SE specific workshops. All designed to allow you to follow the 3+1 Rules: Develop And Serve Your People, Run Pre-Sales As A Business, and Serve Your Customers all matched up with Rule #0 Manage Yourself. It's a common and often repeated story. You take a rock star Sales Engineer who is highly valued for their sales and business skills - and make them a manager because they are a great SE. With no regard for their possible leadership skills whatsoever. Perhaps they are pointed at a few online HR resources and take a mandatory "Managing Within The Law" session. Then they are released into the wild, and asked to manage, lead and motivate a team of Sales Engineers - each of whom performs the job differently than the newly minted manager used to do.

Winning significant business on the right terms is an increasingly complex, challenging and time-consuming task, and a successful bid is a vital part of any business offering its services or products to another. This book will help you to enhance the probability of success in winning bids at the desired margins and to set up and run effectively a bid management team.

Taking a practical approach and using real-life examples, David Nickson leads the reader through every stage of planning for, producing and delivering a bid. Crucially it also shows how to save time - the most important commodity in any bid - without affecting quality. Now the original Bid Manager's Handbook has been repackaged to include additional material that expands on the writing and editorial side of the bid, the use of bid management software and the bid review process.
