Focus on personal management strengths

A novel approach to teaching management in the public and non-profit sectors. It follows the adage of "know thyself" in terms of getting work accomplished through others. Contains a number personal evaluations for application to the complex and difficult area of management. Nice addition to bringing to the classroom a practical approach to individual management preferences through personal discovery. Using this in an advanced human resource management class in a master's in public administration program. Less boring than a tradition textbook and useful for a practical approach to management and administration.
