This book offers a lot in terms of content and features. After much research, [the authors] developed six managerial competencies - self management, strategic action, global awareness, teamwork, planning and administration, amd communication - and have carefully woven examples of these competencies into every chapter. [The authors] choose these competencies after talking with hundreds of managers in all types and sizes of organizations and believe that they are fundamental to managing in a variety of settings. - Preface.
