Managing people, teams and companies

The fifth edition of the now classic work of the renowned Czech management expert brings the most useful insights that determine the success of managers and leaders. The author emphasizes the connections between these insights, the importance of common sense in decision making, and reminds us that success comes from being well versed in situations and knowing what is important.

The book provides a new perspective on the relationship between managers and leaders, new insights into customer needs and new thinking on strategic management. The book is more reminiscent of the close relationship between the technical and human parts of organizations and describes a brand new management tool – context maps. The publication is a real atlas: on most double pages you will find on the right a picture and on the left a related interpretation – this arrangement is very practical and saves readers time.

The book's blend of dense content, logical continuity and rich illustrations make it a clear guide to successful management and business: everything you read today can be put into practice tomorrow.
