Harvard Business Review Manager's Handbook: The 17 Skills Leaders Need to Stand Out

Strongly recommended to read it!!!

HBR Manager's Handbook outlines some of the latest best management practices. Each chapter outlines a skillset the authors deem indispensable for managing projects and people in today's corporate environment. It's filled with great tactics and examples of how to apply these skills.

Everything you need to as a manager to work with your team to deliver great results. You don't need to read the book in one go from A-Z. Like me, you can use it as a reference book, go back to it anytime you want, jump to the chapter covering the specific leadership skill you want to apply. There are 16 in total.And what I like above all are the step-by-step guidance with guding questions and case studies.Overall, a good book.

I have been reading the HBR blog for a while. But having the opportunity of having all knowledge on a book is amazingThe book covers everything from how to handle your transition from an individual performer to how to develop meaningful proposals.There's a lot to take back here and apply with my team

There are very few books I have read that offer such deep insights and clear actions.This is a must read for new managers. It will change your views on managment/leadership and sharpen your focus in the leverages of success in the new role.It is equally a must read for current/experienced managers. It will help you shed the common misconceptions about managment/leadership and refine your approach.This is a book I wished I read earlier in my career.... that said, it is a book I will always reread as often as possible.

This book was a textbook for a required class on management in my graduate school program. Overall, I felt it had good advice for new managers. Some of it, I disagreed with (for example, telling people who get interrupted in meetings it's their fault for not having thorough knowledge of the business) and some didn't mesh well with my own management experience. Even so, it's a good resource for managers and gave me plenty to think about.

Excelente guia para empezar a tener una vision clara de liderazgo en uno mismo, en el equipo de trabajo y en las compañias

I like learning and reading such great books is thrilling. Thank you Amazon and Kindle

Instead of searching around and getting information in pieces, this book gives you a headstart to have an overview of the competencies and skills required to decipher the regime in a professional setting, regardless of where you stand. You can refer back to this manual when you need it and build upon your expertise step by step. An authentic and reliable source

As a book based on Harvard Business Review's management archive, I had higher expectations from what is covered in this book. The list of the "17 skills Leaders Need to Stand Out" was helpful as also is the list of sources. I however expected much more depth of coverage , rather than generic content. In particular I felt that the book would have benefitted from anecdotes and examples based on what is , and is not , good leadership.

This book was very relevant to my career and gave me a whole new insight - excellent read

Good book!

Every manager has his or her style. And we all think that it's the style that has worked before and will continue to work. After reading only the first few chapters did I realize that there are management nuggets here that I have never adopted. Not did I see these solutions before. This book doesn't waste any time in teaching veteran managers, and rookies,, on how to be effective as managers. Some of this material appear in other HBR publications, it's great to have all this wisdom in one book. I bought the Kindle version first, I am going to get the hard cover edition as well. This book is a must have in every manager's desk.
