Professional Applied Management Skills

The purpose of this book is to spark discussion and debate, and potential agreement about institutionalizing fundamental managerial baseline skills. The theory is: ALL PROFESSIONAL MANAGERS "MUST" BE IN POSSESSION OF THE SAME "COMMON CORE" SKILLS. The skills of planning, leading, organizing, coordinating, and controlling must be realized across academics, practitioners, and practical organizations as theorized by Henri Fayol (1916) and other academics/practitioners. Any serious study of management must take into account that the subject is primarily about "knowing" (through critical thinking), and then professionally "doing" (in the organization). Graduated "Management" students cannot genuinely and seriously go out in an organization to do, when they do not really know what and how. The lead question is about: doing what?! This subject review is about the "work" output performed and expected of the professional manager "specifically". It focuses primarily on what they do, or should do to add value to the organization. The primary audience is management professors, management students, and professional general/functional managers.
