Conclusion

SUCCESSFUL MANAGERS are made, not born. They are self-made, through continuous and never-ending work on themselves. Everyone starts at the bottom and then works his or her way up through hard, hard work, sustained over a long period of time.

You can become an excellent manager when you learn and practice the behaviors, methods, and techniques of other successful managers. If you do what other successful people do, you will soon get the results that other successful people get.

The ideas and strategies contained in this book are based on more than thirty years of research and experience in large and small companies. If you recognize that you have room to improve in any one of these twenty-one areas, resolve right now—today—to do something about it. Read a book, take a seminar, listen to an audio program, or ask for advice from people you look up to and admire. Dedicate yourself to continuous self-improvement as if your entire future depended on it. Because it does.
