Managing to Make a Difference: Discovering Employees as Colleagues

About this ebook
No manager succeeds without the support of co-workers, but the culture of many work places casts workers as "sub-ordinates" -- people of a lower class. How can employees support management if they are treated as "less than" by managers? Until they are involved as peers and colleagues, employees' great pool of talents will be withheld. Can your company afford those losses? Discover the better way!
