CT - Managing in Turbulent Times NEW!

Managers are not trying to get from point A to point B as much as simply trying to survive the pounding surf. Today's managers are faced with significant challenges. They juggle their own work while managing employees of diverse in capabilities, motivation, and ambition, not to mention generation, background, and behavior style.
