Management

 I'm waiting for the honest management book that starts off: 'management is wonderful and emotionally rewarding if you have the pay and recognition of a manager and no employees'.

There can be no book or course on management.  I've taught such courses and studied the issues in more than a thousand businesses.  There is only one reality:  people learn management from working under managers.  You are a good or bad manager depending on whether you ever worked under a good manager or not.

That is the sad truth.  Live with it.  If you want to be a good manager, work for one.  Otherwise, let someone else be the manager.
