The third part of the book is called The Bigger Picture. This is where you’ll begin to experience the messier sides of management. We’ll look at why Humans Are Hard and Projects Are Hard and what you can do in various tricky scenarios. Then we’ll consider the information that you’ll have to handle, share, and store in The Information Stock Exchange. We’ll then dive deeper into the often-paradoxical psychology of being an effective manager in Letting Go of Control.
We’ll then turn our focus to your environment. You’ll learn ways in which you can make your department’s communication more effective in Good Housekeeping. Then, we’ll consider how to create career progression tracks for your staff in Dual Ladders. The Modern Workplace addresses inclusivity, diversity, and culture and what you can do to make your company a better place for everyone.
We’ll finish off by considering your future. After all, this is a book about you. In Startups we’ll explore whether you might want to try and accelerate your career by joining a small but fast-growing organization. Then, in The Crystal Ball, we’ll run through an exercise together that you can use to think deeply about where your career is going. And guess what? You can use it with your own staff as well.
So, What’s Next?
All that’s left is for me to thank you for embarking on this journey together with me. I hope that you find it entertaining and informative and that it helps you become a better manager and maybe even a better person. All I know is that if I had this book when I started, I would have felt more confident, more comfortable, and more able to know that I was doing a good job for myself, but especially for those in my team. I truly hope that it does the same for you.
