The Diversity of Management

Twelve lively accounts are given, based on searching interviews, of very different kinds of managerial jobs. They paint a picture of what the job is like, the work that the individual does, and how he or she feels about it. The jobs are compared and lessons are drawn for career guidance, selection and management development as well as how far managerial skills are transferable. The accounts can also be used as case studies and questions are provided for students.
