Summary "Providing insight into the many different areas of expertise that are required in a good manager, Mosley draws upon her experience as a professional library manager to offer sage advice for the aspiring or recently promoted manager. Some of the situations a new manager may encounter that Mosley covers include handling cliques or difficult subordinates, dealing with the perceived or real excellence in the previous manager, establishing and maintaining good relationships with those in positions above or parallel to one's own, budgeting, assessing performance, and many more."--BOOK JACKET
