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.

This groundbreaking book uncovers the true essence of "Lean" and explains how and why this "best kept secret of management" can transform service industries, small and medium-size businesses, governments and non-profit organizations. Using everyday language and business concepts, Lean is described as a blend of method and culture that produces outstanding organizational performance, while at the same time leading to a fulfilling and sometimes even joyful workplace! Written especially for non-manufacturing readers, the book describes Lean as a general system of management, rather than as an extension of the Toyota Production System. The book explains the essential elements of Lean and addresses confusion about differences between Lean management, Lean Six Sigma, and Lean Startup. The book is separated into four parts with multiple chapters in each part. Part One provides an overview of the Lean system and what's involved in applying it to an organization. Parts Two and Three present a detailed description of the method and the culture components of the system. Part Four provides guidance on how to continue your Lean journey, with a valuable workbook chapter that contains well-tested tools and complete instructions for conducting a Lean process improvement event.
