During my time in college, I delved into the book 'Coffee, Tea, or Me' authored by Donald Bain, which recounted the thrilling narratives of two airline stewardesses. It was a truly enjoyable read, prompting me to reflect on my own exceptional experiences and analyze them to the best of my abilities. In simpler terms, management involves overseeing a process. During this journey, an individual can either excel as a proficient manager, leveraging their skills, or unintentionally cause harm due to their limitations. This book is designed to shed light on a set of crucial skills that contribute to exceptional managerial abilities. In doing so, it purposefully avoids complex management jargon, emphasizing that being a successful manager depends on a few fundamental and easily accessible qualities. Many individuals naturally possess these innate traits, and some recognize their importance, thereby adding value to their organization. Conversely, others neglect them, placing a burden on their company in the process. Within the pages of this book, a dedicated effort has been made to clarify the essential aspects of management. Each of these domains is exemplified through real-life case studies, all based on my personal experiences. However, to safeguard confidentiality and protect the privacy of individuals involved, names and locations have been modified.

The Royal Dockyards were Britain's oldest state enterprise and biggest and most complex industrial unit. This book shows how the Admiralty over two centuries struggled to master the intractable problems of organization and management which the dockyards presented. Haas maintains that the dockyards portrayed an image of being inefficient, high-cost producers. These problems were chiefly extreme centralization but, paradoxically, weak control, inadequate coordination of departments, and accounting procedures, unreliable information about production, costs and material, an insufficiently educated and professionalized constructive corps, and an underpaid and slack workforce.

What makes a “good” manager? This is a book by a manager about managers but it is not just for managers. It is for anyone and for everyone who is interested in the way people – and not just managers - behave and function around the world. Based on actual experience the title “Essence of a Manager” is a succinct distillation of what this book is about. It is not a management manual and yet it is a map for navigation and a guide for behavior which can be valuable for practicing managers at all levels. It formulates a sound thesis to describe the qualities needed in a “good” manager and builds up from elemental qualities to develop a holistic view of a good manager. Nine fundamental attributes are proposed as being necessary and sufficient to describe a “good” manager. It is applied management philosophy for a thinking manager and deals with the fundamental drivers which lie deeper than language or culture and which control human behavior.

Whether serving under a Democratic president or a Republican president, General Shelton was never afraid to speak out and tell it like it is. Shelton chronicles his incredible journey from a small farming community in North Carolina to the highest level of American military and political power at the Pentagon and White House. As one of the nation’s elite Special Forces soldiers, Shelton served twice in Vietnam, commanding a Green Beret unit and then an airborne infantry company. He was awarded a Bronze Star for valor and a Purple Heart for a wound suffered when a booby trap drove a poisoned stake through his leg. Shelton rose up the ranks and was assistant division commander of the 101st Airborne Division as they invaded Iraq in the Persian Gulf War, then led the 20,000 American troops tasked with restoring Haiti’s deposed President, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, to power. Promoted to 4-star General, he became Commander in Chief of U.S. Special Operations Command (including Delta Force, Navy SEALS and other top secret Special Mission Units).
