Management stripped bare - Jo Owen

This is a book about business as it is - not as it should be. Managers face the same problems the world over - bad meetings, boring presentations, unreasonable expectations, difficult bosses - and somehow they are meant to make sense of it all. But this isn't taught in business school.

In Management Stripped Bare Jo Owen draws on his vast experience to present real-life solutions and observations on common management challenges. Each challenge is described, and successful and unsuccessful responses are illustrated with case studies. Punchy, edgy and refreshingly honest, it is entertaining and witty as well as informative.

Irreverent and incisive, Management Stripped Bare cuts through the usual management hype and rhetoric to reveal what business is really about. It is not a grand theory of management but a practical guide to survival in the real world.
