{"product_id":"9781609949259","title":"Simply Managing: What Managers Do-and Can Do Better","description":"The Essence of Managing  Henry Mintzberg appreciates that managers are busy people. So he has taken his classic book Managing, done some updating, and distilled its essence into a lean 176 pages of text.   The essence of the book remains the same: what Mintzberg learned from observing twenty-nine managers in settings ranging from a refugee camp to a symphony orchestra. Simply Managing considers the intense dynamics of this job as well as its inescapable conundrums, for example:   • How is anyone supposed to think, let alone think ahead, in this frenetic job? • Are leaders really more important than managers? • Where has all the judgment gone? • Is email destroying management practice? • How can managers connect when their job disconnects them from what they are managing?  If you read only one book about managing, this should be it!","brand":"Berrett-Koehler Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47181586759920,"sku":"9781609949259","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781609949259_p0.jpg?v=1769902781","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781609949259","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
