Alchemy for Managers
demonstrates how you can develop yourself through the actual experience of managing.
Alchemy for Managers shows: - how you can use your practical experience as a
self-contained means to develop yourself - without having to go on a course - how your own
projects can develop your competence in both leadership and management - how managing
external actions and your internal thought processes can be brought together in an
integrated, holistic way.
