Latest Book:
“Frankenstein’s Manager” argues that management skills training does not work – that is – does not lead to better performing managers. Instead, what we end up with are managers pieced together like Frankenstein’s monster with a bunch of ill-fitting parts rather than a complete and coherent whole person. McAneny explores the complexities of leadership and shows that only by dealing with people as individuals can meaningful improvement occur. It is possible to modify our behavior, but only when we have an in-depth understanding of our strengths and weaknesses – something that we can’t get from packaged skills training programs. Aimed at HR managers, consultants and senior executives, this book is for anyone looking for lasting, continuous, transformational development in themselves and the people they lead.
