Charney & Associates Inc.

It’s not that Cy Charney opposes MBA and other types of academic training. It’s just that he feels academic training doesn’t go far enough -- that it fails to prepare people for what life as a manager is really like.

Now Charney has published the ninth book in his lifelong campaign to bridge this gap -- a gap that he believes is particularly challenging in today’s instant, multi-tasking, change-intensive world of work. In Just-in-Time Management, he shares 950-plus pieces of practical advice under the headings of:

- Be Productive

- Increase Your Influence

- Inspire and Motivate Staff

- Manage Effectively Every Day

- Deal with Employee Challenges

- Lead Strategically

- Take Care of Yourself
