Description
Help! I’m a Manager by Arnold Mol is a practical management guide focused on one central idea: productivity depends on how people are managed. Written from a South African business context, the book addresses the everyday challenges faced by new and experienced managers, particularly those responsible for training, motivating, and supervising staff. Mol discusses core management issues such as setting clear objectives, understanding and applying delegation, maintaining effective control over work, rewarding good performance, preventing job dissatisfaction, and dealing with underperforming employees. Drawing on his experience as a lecturer in Business Economics at UNISA and as a management consultant to companies across the country, he presents real-world examples of both successes and failures in the workplace. The tone is practical and direct rather than theoretical, making the book accessible to readers who want straightforward guidance rather than academic management theory.
This title is particularly suitable for supervisors, small-business owners, and first-time managers who need a clear introduction to people management in a South African working environment.
