About this listen
The formation of an organization implies that a leader should take the role to control activities within this group; the work done by the leader of an organization is what the business world understands as management. In this paper, I will introduce to you the basics of management through topics such as organizations and the definition of management, the study of management, and the importance of studying for management.

The truth is, being a great leader doesn’t mean you need to have a fancy job title. You don’t have to be overly assertive, and you don’t need to rule with an “iron fist”. Following the simple framework in this book, you can quickly go from putting out fires at work to building a collaborative and cooperative team. A team that respects and follows you, not because you’re a manager, but because you are the boss. But the choice is yours. You can keep second-guessing every decision you make. Or you can bring out the strong leader within and inspire your team to success.

The world’s most trusted guide for leaders in transition. Transitions are a critical time for leaders. In fact, most agree that moving into a new role is the biggest challenge a manager will face. While transitions offer a chance to start fresh and make needed changes in an organization, they also place leaders in a position of acute vulnerability. Missteps made during the crucial first three months in a new role can jeopardize or even derail your success.

Do you know what it's like to be the boss? If not, have you always wondered? Being a boss is much more than just delegating tasks and hiring/firing employees. It tasks specific characteristics and traits to become a successful and effective leader in management. If your company rewards those who put themselves forward and take the lead, then it's time to show them what you're capable of. If your company does not, then it's time to show them what they're missing!

Agile PM is a methodology to implement to get maximum business efficiency eliminating waste and reducing production costs. This is the most basic definition of agile. Scrum, in particular, is one of the most used agile frameworks. Initially, Scrum was born for software development projects, but it can now be applied also in innovative and more complex projects. Applying it, the work is completed and delivered in short cycles (called sprints) to keep the focus on development and continuous improvement of a product or service.
