The number one reason cited in exit interviews for an employee quitting is GÇ£my manager.GÇ¥ Most managers and executives not only arenGÇÖt aware of this obvious problem, but probably wouldnGÇÖt know what to do about it if they did.

TodayGÇÖs employees do not respond to the old hands-on, militaristic management styles. They are highly independent, individual professionals with their own fully developed ideas. Leaders and managers who try to micro-manage them will inevitably confront wide-spread disgruntlement, absenteeism, and turnover...and increase their own and their employeesGÇÖ stress levels.

In The Hands-Off Manager, Chandler and Black offer a new vision for all managers. With stories, examples, and vibrant activities for the reader to practice, this book shows any managerGÇönew or seasonedGÇöhow to coach and mentor employees rather than hover over their shoulders and goad them into action. In this system, each employeeGÇÖs strengths are honored and honed in a climate of partnership and mutual goal-setting.
