Пошаговое решение 27 самых распространенных проблем менеджера от эксперта с мировым именем. На протяжении 20 с лишним лет гуру менеджмента Брюс Тулган задавал руководителям один и тот же вопрос: "С какими сложными проблемами вы сталкиваетесь при управлении людьми?" Независимо от конкретной должности или индустрии менеджеры называли одну из 27 основных проблем: они боялись потерять "работника-суперзвезду", очень важного для компании; не могли найти мотивацию для отъявленного бездельника; не знали, как заставить двух людей, не терпящих друг друга, работать слаженно в одной команде и так далее. Как выяснилось, большинство менеджеров…

Книга о том, как адаптировать ваши методы управления, чтобы реализовать потенциал поколения Y, написанная экспертом по менеджменту с мировым именем.

Представители поколения Y имеют огромный потенциал и могут стать продуктивными сотрудниками. Многие мифы о них — например, об отсутствии лояльности у «игреков», о том, что они хотят общаться только с компьютером, не могут выполнять тяжелую работу, о том, что их интересуют лишь деньги — неверны, и Брюс Тулган их развеивает в своей книге.

Кроме того, он показывает, что:

• Многие ошибочно предполагают, будто для привлечения и удержания лучших представителей поколения Y нужно сделать рабочее пространство и обстановку «веселыми». Напротив, нужно грамотно управлять ожиданиями сотрудников и не преуменьшать негативные аспекты работы;

• Поколение Y мыслит «в транзакциях»: их интересует, что вы сможете сделать для них в ответ на их услуги и действия прямо сегодня, а не завтра или через пять лет;

• Представители поколения Y не будут связывать свое будущее с вашей компанией, потому что каждую работу рассматривают как возможность для получения опыта и развития навыков, которые пригодятся для того, чтобы устроиться куда-то еще;

• Для этого поколения личная жизнь, а не работа, идет на первом месте, и это нужно учитывать при найме и управлении.

Эта книга, ставшая результатом многолетних исследований, содержит план, который позволит вам вовлекать, развивать и удерживать новое поколение сотрудников.

The number one challenge with today's young talent is a problem hiding in plain sight: the ever-widening soft skills gap. Today's new, young workforce has so much to offer—new technical skills, new ideas, new perspective, new energy. Yet too many of them are held back because of their weak soft skills.

Soft skills may be harder to define and measure than hard skills, but they are just as critical. People get hired because of their hard skills but get fired because of their soft skills.

Setting a good example or simply telling young workers they need to improve isn't enough, nor is scolding them or pointing out their failings in an annual review. However you can teach the missing basics to today's young talent.

Based on more than twenty years of research, Bruce Tulgan, renowned expert on the millennial workforce, offers concrete solutions to help managers teach the missing basics of professionalism, critical thinking, and followership—complete with ninety-two step-by-step lesson plans designed to be highly flexible and easy to use.

Tulgan's research and proven approach has show that the key to teaching young people the missing soft skills lies in breaking down critical soft skills into their component parts, concentrating on one small component at a time, with the help of a teaching-style manager. Almost all of the exercises can be done in less than an hour within a team meeting or an extended one-on-one. The exercises are easily modified and customized and can be used as take-home exercises for any individual or group, to guide one-on-one discussions with direct-reports and in the classroom as written exercises or group discussions.

Managers—and their young employees—will find themselves returning to their favorite exercises over and over again. One exercise at a time, managers will build up the most important soft skills of their new, young talent. These critical soft skills can make the difference between mediocre and good, between good and great, between great and one of a kind.

Get what you need from your boss In this follow–up to the bestselling It's Okay to Be the Boss, Bruce Tulgan argues that as managers demand more and more from their employees, they are also providing them with less guidance than ever before.

For more than twenty years, management expert Bruce Tulgan has been asking, “What are the most difficult challenges you face when it comes to managing people?” Regardless of industry or job title, managers cite the same core issues—27 recurring challenges: the superstar whom the manager is afraid of losing, the slacker whom the manager cannot figure out how to motivate, the one with an attitude problem, and the two who cannot get along, to name just a few. It turns out that when things are going wrong in a management relationship, the common denominator is almost always unstructured, low substance, hit-or-miss communication. The real problem is that most managers are “managing on autopilot” without even realizing it—until something goes wrong. And if you are managing on autopilot, then something almost always does. The 27 Challenges Managers Face shows exactly how to break the vicious cycle and gain control of management relationships. No matter what the issue, Tulgan shows that the fundamentals are all you need. The very best managers hold ongoing one-on-one conversations that make expectations clear, track performance, offer feedback, and hold people accountable. For every workplace problem—even the most awkward and difficult—The 27 Challenges Managers Face shows how to tailor conversations to solve situations familiar to every manager. Tulgan offers clear approaches for turning around bad attitudes, reducing friction and conflict, improving low performers, retaining top performers, and even addressing your own personal burnout. The 27 Challenges Managers Face is an indispensable resource for managers at all levels, one anyone managing anyone will want to keep on hand. One challenge at a time, you’ll see how the most effective managers use the fundamentals of management to proactively resolve (nearly) any problem a manager could face.

Get what you need from your boss In this follow-up to the bestselling It's Okay to Be the Boss, Bruce Tulgan argues that as managers demand more and more from their employees, they are also providing them with less guidance than ever before. Since the number one factor in employee success is the relationship between employees and their immediate managers, employees need to take greater responsibility for getting the most out of that relationship. Drawing on years of experience training managers and employees, Tulgan reveals the four essential things employees should get from their bosses to guarantee success at work. Shows employees how to ask for what they need to succeed in their high-pressure jobs Shatters previously held beliefs about how employees should manage up Outlines what employees must get from their managers: clear expectations; the skills needed to perform their jobs; honest feedback, recognition or rewards A novel approach to managing up, It's Okay to Manage Your Boss is an invaluable resource for employees who want to work more effectively with their managers.
