The Last Business Book You'll Ever Read!
Lack of clarity, accountability, and authority can impact your business in so many ways and the way you work might help you realize the strategy, or get in the way of it. Do you even know what the strategy really is, and how to get there? All of this confusion can be traced to a lack of managerial leadership: the art of managing managers.
