From the Back Cover:

Being a manager today is more complex than ever before. Managers need to be clever, have great people skills and be politically savvy. And there’s no training manual which tells you what you really want to know: how to make things happen, how to survive and how to succeed in today’s world. Until now, managers have had to discover the rules of success on their own.

How to Manage is set to change this: it is the ultimate how-to of management. Based on years of management experience and practice, it shows you what you have to do and how you have to do it in 30 simple steps. From making decisions to managing money and people, How to Manage covers all the political, rational and people skills you need.

If you're only going to read one book on management, this is it.
