The Good Enough Manager

What makes a GEM at the dawn of a new decade? The book's central questions remain: How do the best managers behave? What sets them apart? What impact do they have on their colleagues? Managing people in organizations is an inherently human and fallible endeavor, mainly because it occurs by and through human relationships.

Aaron J. Nurick is Professor of Management and Psychology at Bentley University, Waltham, Massachusetts, USA.
