Personnel Magaziné Here's a survival guide for every manager who's faced with too much to do and too little time-problems with colleagues and subordinates, and the complexities and stresses of modern life.

Slevin uses the adventures of Harry Thorpe, a fictional character whose days are fraught with tension and conflicting priorities, to illustrate both problems and solutions for today's managers. The Whole Manager will help you take charge of your career and your environment and avoid the disasters that often afflict overworked, time-starved practicing managers. Dennis P.
