Description: Management Skills for IS Professionals covers the basic people skills for team and individual management in the context of an IS environment. Included are building and leading a team; managing the team members as individuals; communicating; managing time; delegating authority, tasks, and responsibilities; and the hiring and reviewing of individuals. This book uses checklists, examples, methodologies, and tips rather that lengthy narrative text, and each chapter begins with a set of measurable objectives. Further, the book shows the differences and similarities between individual and team management and looks at how people-oriented management skills complement technical skills. Written in a practical "how-to" style and organized for fast access to specific information, Management Skills for IS Professionals not only explains project management skills, but it takes the reader step-by-step to achieve implementation. This "hands on" approach is enhanced with a CD-ROM including a number of templates for checklists and forms for people-oriented management skills.
