Management Magic: How to Get People to Produce
Dr. Kerry Johnson
If you are like many top executives, you are likely to spend 90% of your training time learning about the technical issues of your job. Only 10% of your training time is spent learning about people. Yet 90% of what you do everyday involves dealing with people and 10% concerns technical matters. This boils down to the fact that many of those involved in management are good at managing things but poor leaders of people. Management Magic is focused toward helping managers become more productive by learning how to get things done through people.
Recent psychological research has uncovered powerful yet easy to use techniques that will help leaders become better communicators and more effective motivators. These studies, based on work done at the University of California at Santa Cruz, suggest that the ability to communicate is the most important interpersonal skill a leader can have. And the most important aspect of communication is trust. It is the prime reason why a select few achieve peak performance and high productivity from the people who work for and with them. They are their employees greatest cheerleaders, giving them much of the credit and praise for their success. Yet trust is not just an abstract concept. There are step by step techniques available to give leaders the skills necessary to lead people the way they want to be lead and thereby improve their performance.
