Spotlight on Management Books: Small Business Book Awards

Somebody has to be in charge.  The sooner we learn to manage our team (we cannot do it all) and ourselves (for long haul ideas), then the more freedom we have and the better our business. And for the hardcore work-a-holics among us, we also have more time for the other aspects of our business.

In a lot of ways management is the ignored art of small business. It takes creative skill to understand yourself and others better and to put that understanding to use. Management is a pivotal position— handle with care. After all, it’s the manager in us that markets the business to the internal team long before the team markets it to the public. Smart management. Effective team. Better business.
