Tough Management
The 7 Winning Ways to Make Tough Decisions Easier, Deliver the Numbers, and Grow the Business in Good Times and Bad
Editorial Review
To say that work has changed over the last years would be an understatement. With an increase in downsizing, cut budgets, working hours, customer demands and shareholder requirements, people in charge are constantly under the gun to achieve more with less. It is common now to find managers carrying out a 10 - 12 hour workday. With more workloads and less time, managers and executives must find a practical, doable way to achieve their results, which is tough management. The concept of tough management was derived on the basis of carried out surveys on thousands of senior executives and managers. The surveys reveal results on what the majority of executives and managers agree and disagree on. Tough management is a way to approach work. It is a practical and organized way to get to decisions more easily, make the numbers on a consistent basis, have those around you understand where you stand, and increase the business.
