The word "manager" has drifted away from the mainstream.  More often you'll hear what it takes to transform yourself into a sizzling, dynamic leader. Then you’ll hear how you can create a people-friendly culture, or how to supersize organizational capability.

Back at the workplace, your employees are standing at the door to talk about everyday managing.  They want to take responsibility and make contributions.  They want to feel like real players.  If only they knew what you're doing and where you're taking the team.  They're asking...“Is anyone steering this ship?”

Whether you’re a Senior Executive, Middle Manager, or First-Line Supervisor, your best work gets done when you make the most of your employees’ contributions and efforts.  You multiply yourself. You free yourself to tackle bigger issues.

Simply Managing answers the question: what do managers do?  We teach a set of best practices that you'll see in Best Managers.  We show you how to give your team consistency and predictability in the "everyday.”  

We think Great Leaders are first Great Managers.

We set out on a 5-year project to study what Great Managers do.  We wrote an 800-page book that is a wealth of managing best practices.  We tapped into the experience and insight of 30 colleagues, all experienced and proven people-managers. In the end, we captured a total picture of what Great Managers do.

Then we reversed course. We condensed the material and boiled it down to just 2
pages. It's a roadmap-sized product that gives you everything you need to manage people. It's as useful and versatile as a Swiss Army Knife.

Simply Managing puts you the driver's seat.  When's the last time you made a decision in the moment? Can you exercise judgment and discretion? Can you take full responsibility for your work group?  

Here are five pragmatic approaches have been incorporated into everything in Simply Managing.  Attend a workshop--we'd love to explain how this works. These make you the owner:

>  Big picture: Managing is a multi-faceted job--there is mastery in 
    working with the whole and seeing how the parts interconnect.

>  Focus on what you can change: Learn how to play the cards you
    have in your hand. So we only discuss what you can own and deliver.

>  Simplify everything: Pick uncomplicated tools and methods--plug and
    play practical--cut through the clutter--boil down to the essentials. 

>  Do-it-yourself approach: Become adept at handling everyday people issues
    and HR matters. Own what’s important to your team. Speak for yourself.

>  Get a game plan: You need a hands-on playbook that establishes your plan of
    action and sets your daily agenda. 

Try this: look for these 5 approaches in any leadership book or class.

Simply Managing vision is to give you:

>  Everything you need: A one stop source for wisdom and knowledge.   

>  Nuts and bolts practical tools: Action lists and things you do, not lofty discussion.

>  Competence and greatness: You can attain mastery of the subject.

>  Discovery and challenge: We make you think. Be inspired to reach high.
