Overview

The new way to a better management career

The transition from individual contributor to manager is arguably the hardest career change to make. The process is often unpredictable, chaotic and unstructured. It can be overwhelming, and there is plenty of bad advice around that will only make things worse. But what if managers had a framework they could use to plan their personal and professional growth? Thanks to the innovative approach in this book, they now do.


Apply a service framework and improve your professional standing

In Managing in a Service-focused World, Roger K. Williams adapts established principles of IT service management (ITSM) into a framework for personal and professional development. He proposes that management is a service, best judged by the key stakeholders: the managers themselves, their team, their leaders and their customers. The clear and direct style lets new managers in any field quickly appreciate and apply the ideas to engage staff at all levels and give tangible benefits to all stakeholders.
