| Summary | "The Knack of Managing" by Lewis K. Urquhart and Herbert Watson is a practical guide on management principles likely written in the mid-20th century. The book emphasizes that fundamental management techniques, including analysis, planning, organization, handling help, and supervision, are essential for success across all types of businesses, from large corporations to small vendors. It seeks to demystify management, making it accessible by showing that the core principles remain consistent regardless of the specific business context. The opening portion of the book presents the foundational ideas of management through relatable examples, illustrating that effective management boils down to starting with thorough analysis before taking action. It highlights the importance of understanding the job to be accomplished, showing how a successful approach begins with proper planning and organization akin to assembling a structure step by step. Urquhart and Watson use anecdotes about a production manager in a shoe factory and an errand boy to demonstrate that the principles of management cut across various professions and tasks. Overall, the opening sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of management techniques that can drive efficiency and success in any enterprise. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
