The past 40 years of globalisation, innovation and invention, not to mention global financial upheaval, recession and austerity, has witnessed major failures in how companies develop their employees along a career path and, in particular, into the role of management. Furthermore, the growth in technology has changed and continues to change the world of work beyond recognition, and management is again prevalent in the world of people development.
This has never been more relevant than today with the influx of Millennials who will constitute nearly 60% of the workforce by 2030. This generation, who will be the leaders and managers of our future, are perceived as different to those of the older generations, as they seek a greater level of flexibility, freedom and opinion in the workplace.
Whether you are an experienced manager just looking to enhance what you already know, or new to the world of work and want to accelerate your career development, then this book will help give you the necessary insights and understanding of how to become an exceptional manager.

Alasdair's experience and keen knowledge of the subject matter shines through each chapter.
This book was really enjoyable to read with its colloquial manner and practical advice, and real-life and well chosen case studies which will provide valuable resonance to anyone involved in the, somewhat capricious, field of management. Furthermore, the end of chapter summaries are useful for reference, and afterthought.

Alasdair writes from a fantastic base of knowledge and experience and he writes well.
There are so many lessons to be learned whether you are new to management or, like me, an old war horse!

This book is a must Read!
Its full of practical information and insights from the experience and anedotes of the author. Lots of Books tell you what you should do and how to do it, this book tells you WHY you need to look at your current managment and leadership style. It is clear that the author has been there done and worn the tee-shirt.
