Description

The concept of leadership is exceptionally ambiguous. It is not an independent educational discipline; it cuts right across traditional fields of knowledge such as psychology, education, economics, law, engineering, mathematics and philosophy. In business the key to success is achieving a good balance between effectively maximizing staff potential and achieving the best operative results. This work looks at the problems faced by a manager, both from the operative aspect of a company and the needs of human management. The author considers organizational activity from various angles, such as productivity, quality, time frame, strategy and the organisation as a whole.
