Drawing on his leadership training courses, examples from his own career, and frequently asked questions from the managers he supports, Alan Hester has made Management Starts With You a wise, honest and practical guide to success. This is a management book with a difference.

Among the many powerful insights into this challenging but fascinating role, we learn that:

before we can successfully manage others we first need to manage ourselves

most of us do not naturally know how to manage, but we can learn

life as a manager is easier when we stop thinking about the effect of our actions on ourselves and think instead about their effect on others

the more we focus on something, the more we get out of it - so we need to focus on the right things

This book equips managers to adopt attitudes, beliefs and behaviours that will help them to achieve great results for their team, their organisation, and themselves.
