Management and Leadership Questions and Answers

Many folks become leads or managers by chance. Someone assigns them the management of a group, team, product, project, or program because of their area of expertise while not taking into account they have never had any management education or training. And without the specific skills and techniques necessary to clarify objectives, avoid serious errors of omission, and eliminate costly mistakes, the whole enterprise can quickly become a recipe for disaster. But for those without the formal background who want to become acquainted with the discipline of management and leadership, help has indeed arrived.

You would have probably realized that managing or leading is not as easy as telling other people what to do, then sit back to watch things get done. You need to be able to:
1. hire, motivate and retain great people
2. communicate clearly with them
3. train, mentor and coach them often with limited resources and time
4. evaluate their performance and take necessary steps to improve it
5. manage office politics
6. juggle a full load of your own responsibilities at the same time
