Book excerpt: The middle manager is often the glue that keeps organizations together, serving as that bond between upper management and workers. Yet you won't find many books or training that focus solely on the special needs of the middle manager. Author William Thomas Jones aims to fix this with Middle Management 101, a guidebook for the middle managers among us looking to be a more productive and successful team leader. Jones offers techniques for common management duties such as empowering and rewarding your team and recruiting the best talent possible. He stresses the importance of communication so people at all levels know what's going on. You don't have to feel like you're "stuck in the middle" just because you're a middle manager. Take steps to become a happier, more effective leader who motivates your team to be empowered and enjoy their jobs. Middle Management 101 has you covered, including how to coach and reward employees, run meetings, and more. This book is a tribute to the "fixers," the unsung heroes who tackle problems by viewing them from the perspectives of both upper management and workers. Grab a copy, and let's get to work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managing and leading a remote team of line managers is the most challenging aspect of the middle manager role. It is quite normal for middle managers to see line managers infrequently and when they do, middle managers very rarely see their line managers 'on the job'. On the occasions when middle managers attend a line manager's work unit, they can often be presented with a fictitious picture of how the line manager performs or behaves and how the business unit is truly performing. Not having day-to-day physical contact as a line manager would normally have with their employees, makes monitoring and managing line manager performance extremely difficult for any distance manager. To be effective in distance management and be able to overcome the many unique challenges distance managers experience, middle managers need to work to a clear strategy, learn and use a new set of skills and implement policies and procedures that all line managers must adhere to.Putting into practice the strategy outlined in this short-book will help middle managers be more effective in managing business units at a distance.

Discover the practical, fail-proof tools that will help you to fine-tune your leadership skills, solidify respect among your workforce, and ensure your company’s lasting success. When Martin G. Moore was asked to rescue a leading energy corporation from ever-increasing debt and a lack of executive accountability, he faced an uphill battle. Not only had he never before stepped into the role of CEO; he also had no experience in the rapidly evolving energy sector. Relying on the practical leadership principles he had honed throughout his thirty-three-year career, he overhauled the company’s culture, redefined its leadership capability, and increased earnings by a compound annual growth rate of 125 percent. In No Bullsh!t Leadership, Moore outlines these proven leadership principles in a clear, direct way. He sweeps away the mystical fog surrounding leadership today and lays out the essential steps for success. Moore combines this tangible advice with honest, real-world examples from his own career to provide a no-nonsense look at the skills a true leader possesses. Moore’s principles for no bullshit leadership focus on: Creating value by focusing only on the things that matter most Facing conflict, adversity, and ambiguity with decisiveness and confidence Setting uncompromising standards for behavior and performance Selecting and developing great people Making those people accountable, and empowering them to do their best Setting simple, value-driven goals and communicating them relentlessly Though the steps aren’t easy, they are guaranteed, if implemented, to lift your leadership–and your organization–to a higher level. Wherever you are in your career, No Bullsh!t Leadership will help you develop the skills and form the habits needed to become a no bullshit leader.
