Now they bring their unique style and hard-hitting program to audio -- to help you take charge of your job and your life.
This book investigates the pervasive problem of managers inadvertently assuming the responsibilities of their subordinates, a phenomenon the authors term 'monkeys'. Kenneth Blanchard and William Oncken Jr. utilize their extensive experience in corporate consulting to present a framework for delegation and time management. They argue that managers often become overwhelmed because they accept 'monkeys'—tasks or problems—that rightfully belong to their staff, thereby reversing the intended flow of accountability and productivity.
