Managing with Respect

MANAGING WITH RESPECT (c) is a model for management excellence that author Jim DuBreuil created and has utilized in his professional work life for many years. The model contains a foundation of Respect, three main principles (Knowledge, Organization, Communication), and the over arching concept of Measurements that, when implemented with integrity, lead to Peak Performance of both individuals and teams. The book begins with a description of the model and then uses subsequent chapters to apply it to 13 different core management processes. A professional, yet cordial writing style and many personal examples are used to illustrate the points being made in the chapters. The result is a brief, yet meaningful description of how to manage business resources in the real 21st century world. MANAGING WITH RESPECT (c) exploits a seasoned manager's "experiential capital" in an easy to read format. It is a unique work because it contains no-nonsense descriptions of many situations managers encounter every day as well as common sense approaches to handling them. New managers and business students will benefit from the book because it presents real-world situations and advice that they can't get without years of actual experience. The book can also serve as a quick reference to revisit concepts and reinforce learning. In other words, the reader can actually use it as a "Real-World Management Mentor" when and where they need it.
