The Good Manager

By Paul Wallis

The Good Manager is a creative, efficient individualist. The Good Manager can fraudproof a business, turn every staff member into a high value asset and turn the janitor into a paying business while getting rid of sycophants, middlemen and careerists, then have lunch.

The Good Manager is the virtual antithesis of the mythical management culture, and avoids it like a disease. You won't find Good Managers in endless meetings- They run successful businesses, not talkfests and bizarre rituals.

Either you run a job, or it runs you. The Good Manager runs the job, and runs it like it's never been run before.

Paul Wallis

Professional writer, author of at least 17 of my own books, and several for other people. Digital journalist, musician, graphic artist. I love to write, and if people get 1% of the fun out of reading my books as I do writing them, they're a good deal. I loathe formula writing and I detest conformity. My books and I have a lot in common. Somebody said- "Guys don't read!" My answer- "Nor do cockroaches." Interesting how philosophy bumps in to these ideas, isn't it? Smashwords customers please note: The reason for my relatively high prices is that like most pro writers I'm very tired of getting paid peanuts for my hard work. A decade's work for very little has made me less than keen on birdseed prices. The only other thing I can say in favor of my prices is that you definitely won't find anything like my books online, particularly in the sugary world of management science. I don't write for idiots. Recent books The Danforth Puppy is my first attempt to write a kids' book, and great fun, based on a real dog whose story nobody would believe. You're Looking Sane Today 2 (What if you couldn't ingratiate yourself with vermin?) is a murderous attempt to hit a few targets in this ridiculous society. This is a preferred style, which I hope to use to enter the armaments industry. Conversations for Tiny Minds is about the sheer futility of basic communications in a very information-hostile environment. It was originally written some years ago, and I needed to check if I still agreed with the original. Irritatingly, I still do.
