The title "Inspirational Manager" is interesting. Why? There's no "The" in front of "Inspirational Manager". It seems as though the author is personalising the book for each reader, i.e. it is possible that you and I can become an inspirational manager. This is unlike so many other books of this genre that exalt "the (often mythical) inspirational manager" in such terms that us mere mortals can not aspire to emulate.

Judith Leary-Joyce has many years of experience consulting with, training or coaching real managers and the basis for this book lies in the story of 12 such real managers. It is packed with great advice and tips for managers on all the important management responsibilities - recruiting, managing performance, delegating, team building and so on. Additionally it covers issues that are sometimes not covered in other management books, such as "Focusing your attention", "The beliefs of an inspirational manager" and "Keep on learning".

Inspirational manager has useful summaries at the end of each chapter plus an Action Plan for this particular topic that is neatly divided into "Today", "Next week" and "Next month". This makes it very easy to immediately implement an idea that you like. A highly recommended read for all managers.
