Companies spend millions of dollars annually on management training, yet far too many managers remain ineffective. So, where is the disconnect? It seems management training focuses on 'what to do' rather than 'how to think'. This is akin to the old adage about giving someone a fish, versus teaching them how to fish. "Manage Like Your Momma" is a business fable that demonstrates how a simple shift in mindset can have a profound effect on manager behaviors. It moves beyond Management 101 training, and into the arena of self-coaching. If you're a fan of "Who Moved My Cheese?" or "The One-Minute Manager", you will thoroughly enjoy this book.
