Now Patrick McKenna and David Maister provide a 'play book' for professionals trying to be both a team member and coach. In industies ranging from banking and insurance to law and engineering, as well as in research labs and software companies, management responsibility is increasingly delegated - usually without guidance - to those who head up smaller teams of professionals. FIRST AMONG EQUALS speaks directly to those who have gone from focusing on their own performance to being a group manager in charge of leading others. From understanding the group leader role to setting terms of reference and effectively dealing with talented prima donnas, McKenna and Maister present a thorough introduction to managing and orchestrating talent.","brand":"Print on demand - Ships in 1 to 3 months","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47150854766750,"sku":"HPC-9780743268325","price":39.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780743268325.jpg?v=1780273329","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780743268325","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
