About this ebook
Effective management impacts everything from the front line to the bottom line.
As workplace leaders; the managers that deal most frequently with the front line staff have the greatest impact on a workplace's culture and funtionality. They are unique in their position to directly impact productivity and growth.
Couple this with the fact every workplace has its own intrinsic rules that are not written down as policy or process, but are every bit as critical to a manager's effectiveness. Awareness and adherance to these unwritten rules is key to effective management.
Inside The Unwritten Rules are twenty of the most important and the most applicable unwritten rules found in most businesses and organizations. Non-adherance to these rules can negatively impact employees and companies in many ways.
One usually learns these rules over time as hindsight reveals their reality and importance. The Unwritten Rules saves you that time!
