The importance of leadership in a rapidly shifting world is a no-brainer, and a theoretical approach to leading and managing does not help.

There are a large cadre of leaders and managers that have good intentions but does not have the fundamental skills to lead and manage because they did not have the opportunity to learn them in a practical manner.

41 How-tos that should be know of by heart, to the point of becoming habitual, are discussed to providepractical guidancein a standardised manner, each including very specific how-to action steps for topics such ashow to plan, solve problems, organise, manage your time, delegate, issue assignments, communicate effectively, manage conflict, handle underachievers,and many more.

From analysis to delegation, from conflict to recognition thesingle threadrunning through every section is this:know what is required, be clear about it, contract it properly, and then follow through.

Now go lead and manage, because it matters.
