HOW GREAT MANAGERS MANAGE PEOPLE The 29 articles in The HMU Guide to Managing People collection were chosen with one clear goal in mind: to provide you with a comprehensive yet concise resource for dealing with common issues encountered when managing people. You'll learn how to: turn great strategy into great performance, build and lead effective teams, and recognize and reward employees, among other things. This guide is divided into three sections, beginning with advice on personal development via two Harvard Business Review articles, "Managing Oneself" and "What Makes an Effective Executive," by perhaps the most revered management thinker of our time, Peter F. Drucker. After all, we recognize it is difficult to manage others if you haven't yet found the most effective way to manage yourself. It also offers five Debriefings — interviews with experts taken from the pages of the Harvard Management Update (HMU) newsletter. Each piece offers point-by-point guidance on navigating the trickiest terrain in people management, such as making conflict drive results and exerting influence without authority. The largest group of articles covers tactics. Subjects include aligning your team behind strategy, motivating problem people, providing effective recognition, fostering idea development, and sharing. The final articles are geared toward personal development and offer advice on how to delegate more efficiently, resist the urge to overreach, and become more persuasive.
