The third in a 12-title series, The Crash Course for Entrepreneurs, which coaches prospective and new entrepreneurs in managing employees. Many novice entrepreneurs have little more than a brilliant idea and a pocketful of ambition. They may not be born managers. So they want to know "Now what?" This book tells you exactly what you must know, in simple terms, using real-world examples. In a two-hour read, it walks you through the essentials of leading and managing, and gives seasoned advice in a reader-friendly way. Learn what types of leadership there are and when to use your options effectively, how to avoid looking like a beginner, how to make meetings really work, how to manage diversity for rich results, when to coach and when to terminate, what's okay and what's not in the office, how to make your office culture work, how to work really efficiently so you can manage and lead at your best, when to outsource, and how to cut costs and spend wisely. Find out what other critical resources, processes and practices will help ensure your success.
Whether your dream business is dog walking or high-tech invention, home-based or web-based, these serial entrepreneurs will save you time and trouble as you manage the people in your new company.
