“Bridging the Gap: Managerial Skills for Non-MBAs”

As the business world continues to evolve, it is becoming increasingly common for individuals without a formal management education to assume leadership roles. Such managers are often promoted from within the organization, based on their performance and work ethic. While these individuals possess technical expertise and a deep understanding of the company’s culture, they may lack the managerial skills necessary to excel in their new roles. This is where the book “Managerial Skills for Non-MBAs” by Shiv Khera comes in.

Khera’s book provides practical tips and advice for non-MBAs who find themselves in managerial positions. It covers various aspects of management, including people management, time management, data analysis, and problem-solving. The book offers a straightforward and easy-to-understand approach to management that relies on common sense and practical solutions.

One of the strengths of this book is that it is specifically targeted at non-MBAs. It recognizes that such managers may not have the same level of theoretical knowledge as those who have undergone formal management training. Therefore, the book focuses on providing practical advice that can be applied in real-world situations.

Another notable feature of the book is its emphasis on improving plant or business unit performance and reducing operations costs. This is a critical aspect of management that is often overlooked in other management books. The author’s approach is to provide a roadmap for non-MBAs to follow that will enable them to improve their unit’s performance and make a significant impact on the organization.

Overall, “Managerial Skills for Non-MBAs” is an excellent resource for those who have been promoted into managerial roles without a formal management education. It offers practical advice, real-world examples, and a step-by-step approach to managing people, time, and resources effectively. By reading this book, non-MBAs can bridge the gap between technical expertise and managerial skills and excel in their new roles.
