CHAPTER HIGHLIGHTS

Introduction

"You can't build a ten story building on a weak foundation without it toppling. So, don't try to build the structure of your life on a poor spiritual, mental, physical and financial foundation."

Chapter 1

Everyone in the department had a special deal. Now the game was to figure out who had the best deal. All of this created a lot of unrest and bad moral.

Chapter 2

For some of the most important things we do in life, we never get any formal training. Two such things that come to mind are raising kids and supervising employees.

Chapter 3

Just knowing that a style of parenting or supervising is wrong, isn't enough. We have to replace the wrong knowledge with new knowledge and effective tools.

Chapter 4

What is needed is to take the variables out of the management style equation as much as we reasonably can.

Chapter 5

Being a friend or dictator is not the goal of a supervisor. What you wish to attain is a position of respect based on fair employee treatment and good decision making.

Chapter 6

Seldom does a company consider the fact that the skills required to build widgets is considerably different from those required to supervise and build people. Therefore, the best widget maker is not necessarily the best supervisor.

Chapter 7

One of the easy aspects of managing people is the fact that seldom does a decision have to be made today.

Chapter 8

The answer to the Supervisor's Dilemma is knowing exactly when to use equal or unique management styles.

Chapter 9

Cases to evaluate.
