MUCH OF WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT MANAGEMENT IS JUST PLAIN MYTH.
Myth: Lofty leadership tops mere management.
deMyth: Leadership and management are two sides of the same job—managers have to lead; leaders have to manage.
Myth: If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.
deMyth: Whoever measured management, let alone measurement?
Myth: Proper strategies are planned.
deMyth: Interesting strategies are learned.

This playful, provocative, ultimately profound book deMYTHtifies ten of our most cherished beliefs about managing. In their place, the book champions management as a practice rooted in experience, judgment, and communityship rather than hierarchy, technique, and leadership.
