My newest book “Do We Need Managers?” has been published in print and on Kindle.
So many companies are experimenting with complete self-management. There are regular news reports of yet another company throwing out all the managers. While I have certainly seen plenty of bad managers in my career, I am not convinced that management is inherently bad. So I decided to take a balanced look at all management roles.
This small book is an exploration of the role of manager – line manager, middle manager, and executive. It answers a number of questions:
- How and why did the various kinds of managers come about?
- What was their purpose?
- Does that purpose exist today?
- Does it make sense to get rid of all the managers?
- How many managers do we really need?
- What do managers do that hurt the company?
- What can managers do to be of real value to the company?
For the launch of this book, I am offering it free on Kindle on June 19, 20, and 21, 2018. I’ll update this post with a direct link to the book the morning of June 19.

Be sure it shows $0.00 to buy. I have attached a screen shot that shows where they put the purchase price (Amazon promotes Kindle unlimited so much that the actual sales price is a bit hard to find).
If you do read it, I’d love it if you leave a review on Amazon.
Thanks!
