Managers do not work alone. As the title implies, they have responsibility for overseeing projects and people. But how do manages learn the principles of management? How do they develop the skills they need to guide their colleagues and reports? How do they tap into the potential that will maximize their own job performance and that of others? 
The key that unlocks the answers to those questions is the process of professional development and is what is covered in this book!

As a manager, you'll learn how to identify areas of need and how to prioritize them. You'll learn the differences between developmental and remedial coaching, and gain clarity about the benefits and realities of each. You'll understand the differences between coaching and mentoring.
