The "How to be a Better Manager" Series of E-guides
Our e-guides are available as easy-to-download pdf files (click here if you don't have
Adobe Reader). The best way to use them is to read through each section in turn, ensuring you pause for reflection wherever you see the "Consider..." points. Be sure to answer any questions posed, wherever they appear - they are there for a reason!
After you've worked through your guide, read the summary checklist. This both summarizes the contents of the guide, and gives you actions to take to help you use it. Finally, work through the tools. These have been designed to help you make the most of the advice given in the guide. Click on the tool buttons where they appear for an in-text hyperlink to the actual tool. At the end of each tool you can simply click on the "return" link to get back to your place in the guide. Both the tools and the summary checklist are simple to use as handy references at the end of the guide, or as convenient memory aids to carry with you.
Remember, all of our e-guides are backed by our 30-day money back guarantee. If you're not completely satisfied with our product, we'll give you a refund in full, with no questions asked. Just contact us within 30 days from the date of your purchase.
