This book was written to help you discover your basic management style and compensate for your weaknesses so you can work better with others -- subordinates, peers and those you report to -- whose management styles are different from your own. The book provides prescriptions to follow for each management style, notes from the battleground based on the exdperiences of the author in coaching executives around the world for the past 35 years. The prescriptions are intended to enrich management styles, not to achieve a total personality change in managers. The purpose of coaching is to make managers, whatever their personal style, more flexible so they can work with others whose styles are different. While conflict between the different styles is unavoidable, learning to speak the language of the people we work with allows us to build and nourish a complementary team and prevent conflict from being destructive.
