About Our Site

TheManagersGuide was formed to offer a unique reference point on a comprehensive guide to being a great manager.

Our experts has a simple mission when they came to create TheManagersGuide: to create a single repository for the practical and accurate advice that will make managers' lives easier. It's also a great starting point for people who want to become managers, as a way of broadening your skills and finding out of you have what it takes to manage people effectively.

Management isn't easy. We understand this only too well. You must balance the needs of the organisation you work for with those of the management team around you and the staff who work for you. This can seem like an ongoing plate-spinning routine, and if you're not careful you could find yourself rushing from one near-disaster to another, trying to avoid problems rather than adding real value to your business.

This is where TheManagersGuide can help. Our "no nonsense" articles are crammed with expert advice that will help you to brush up your skills and help you to tackle problems before they occur. You could spend years making your own mistakes and learning from them, or you could take the opportunity to learn from our experts instead. We think it's an easy choice!

Why not bookmark this site so you can refer back to it when you need to (for example, just before you need to hold your next set of staff appraisals). Better yet, sign up to our newsletter to be the first to get our updates as new material is posted.

Our concern was that there was no single UK resource for interesting features and practical advice on this subject.

Our features and articles are written by experts - who have experience, or a particular interest in this area.
