Good Management and Leadership Skills

How to Sharpen Your Managerial Skills by Meir Liraz

Why do some managers hit the profit target more often than others? They do it because they keep their operation pointed in that direction - direction of profit making. They never lose sight of the goal - to finish the year with a profit.

In this book you'll find ideas and techniques to help you improve your personal management skills. It points out that you must keep informed, make timely decisions and take effective action. In effect you must control the activities of your company rather than being controlled by them.

My name is Meir Liraz, I'm the president of Bizmove.com and the author of this book. According to Dun & Bradstreet, 90% of all business failures analyzed can be traced to poor management. This is backed up by my own experience. In my 23 years as a business coach and consultant to managers, I've seen practically dozens of business owners go under and lose their businesses -- not because they weren't talented or smart enough -- but because they were trying to re-invent the wheel rather than rely on proven, tested methods that work.
