7 in 1 simple Management Guide

There is a high volume of literature and many learned tomes in the field of management, in most cases they are either written for the benefit of large corporations or as academic books for students of management and business studies. Whilst they can provide interesting insights, they may not provide pertinent illustrations or examples to small business situations. The purpose of this series of publications is to act as a brief but essential small business guide in management. I will explain fundamental management principles in the context of a small business.  I endeavour to illustrate key points with anecdotal examples from my own experience of working with thousands of small businesses.

 When people talk about management, mostly they have Human Resource Management in mind; but management is far wider than just staff management. As a manager of a small business; you manage:

 People: Staff, contacts, relationships, ambitions, aspirations ...; as well as

Assets: Money, machines, premises, tools, equipment, markets, information etc.

 A great number of managers find themselves unexpectedly in management positions without even the rudimentary knowledge of management and its fundamentals.

Before we embark on the topic of management it is necessary to clear up some of the confusions and misconceptions about it, as well as clear away any of the mysteries that may surround management.
