Business Book Summaries

All managers, from CEOs to frontline supervisors, must delegate to accomplish their goals. Yet, even though delegation enables managers to produce results through other people, many supervisors have not yet mastered this skill.

Luecke and Perry McIntosh provide readers with a proven method for delegation, and break down the delegation process into five steps which, if followed, will enable managers to be more effective.
