Your management sucks

the long version

Like a mirror, this book reveals truths that you may deal with--or choose to ignore or put on the back burner. Everyone manages someone or something--even if only your own life and career. How well or poorly you manage has a profound impact on your personal success. Stevens makes the point that at any given time everyone's management can be improved and rethought to move away from bad patterns and habits. Stevens, who gives advice to Fortune 500 companies and entrepreneurial start-ups, teaches you to start by declaring constructive war on yourself, then leave the land of business-as-usual with the seven-point plan Stevens has used to build both his own career and his marketing and strategy consulting firm. You'll soon find that you're in the fast lane, easily outpacing your passive peers who rarely, if ever, challenge the how and why of what they do.--From publisher description.
