Become a Super Manager and Learn the Secrets to Successful Management

By Lance Winslow

Anyone who has ever had to deal with people and get them to perform together as a team knows that becoming a super manager is not easy. It takes some talent, skill and good bit of patience to say the least. Of course, there is a lot more to it than that. Perhaps, I might better illustrate this point by recommending a very good book to you:

"Supermanaging; How to Harness Change for Personal and Organizational Success" by Arnold Brown and Edith Weiner. 1984

The author first points out the responsibility to understand change, then moves on to how to master it, and then he discusses what is changing all around you and it is significant - things such as; American Demographics, Economics, Computers, Technology, Communication and Society. The author still shows that things have always been changing and uses the locomotive as an example.

In relation to work and career the writer tells us of how business is changing and how those changes clash with the status quo and the old way of doing things. He talks about marketing, management, supply chains, the workforce, the government regulations, ethics, associations, and the transitional aspects of current change. (remember the book was written in 1984, but the case study of those changes back then are so interesting.

The final Part of the book, Part VI, is all about modifying yourself to adapt to these changes in your life, work and other endeavors, so that you are not left behind, wondering what had happened. Indeed, in hindsight of that era, we see that the advice in this book was not half bad.
