The No-Drama Manager"
 
Receives Award

     Recently the New England Book Festival awarded my book The No-Drama Manager: A Common Sense Approach to Management” an honorable mention. I wrote this book with business people in mind, but the concepts and ideas can work equally as well for anyone who finds themselves managing a group of people, be it the PTA, the towns budget committee, or the school board.

     A review by ForeWord Reviews has this to say  “Eldon Spady’s The No-Drama Manager is a breath of fresh air because most books written for business managers have become increasingly formulaic.______ Spady was a hands-on manager who ran departments, divisions, and companies. In some cases, he was tasked with turning failing companies around. In this compact volume, Spady not only gives readers a perspective on what it is really like to be a manager but he also shares relevant examples of everyday management challenges—often from a manufacturing plant floor—that brings his book to life. _____Chapters are short, punchy, and enriched with numerous anecdotes _____what makes this book memorable is the simple, straightforward, heartfelt manner in which the author expresses his views, and the way he weaves in stories to reinforce his perspective.______ Spady preaches a management style that combines calm and confidence with healthy doses of humorous self-deprecation, respect for subordinates, and old-fashioned honesty.”
