HOT READS FOR THE PRACTITIONER
Title: Management Tip of the Day
Competency: self development
Who benefits: executives, managers, supervisors, professional employees
Consultant Usage: easy way to stay current, pass on tips to clients, use as references to more substantial material
What’s it about? Today’s posting requires almost no work on my part thanks to the good people at Harvard Business Publishing. They offer a daily management tip of the day…and many of the tips aren’t just for management. All you do is click on the link above and if you like the sample I picked, you can sign up by giving them your name and the email address you want to receive the daily tip.
There is a small down side. Below and to the side the tip are multiple related items for purchase. But hey, it’s free, so is that so much to ask?
The sample I selected was from October 26, 2009. It is called “Ready for a Promotion? Promote Yourselfâ€. The tip itself was about one long paragraph. At the bottom of the paragraph is a link to the author’s source, in this case, his Blog which gave a more lengthy answer. So you immediately have more, if more is your thing.
At the Blog I found a link to a book the author has written. While not necessarily on topic, this one wasn’t, it is possible to get even more information if you are in the mood. By the way, the author in this management tip wrote a book with such a great title that I may try to get it for my own amusement: Typo: The Last American Typesetter or How I Made and Lost 4 Million Dollars.
If you are still wondering if you should clink on the link at the top of this post, here are several titles from recent tips of the day:
- 3 Tips for Making the Most of Social Media
- Â Identify Your Employees’ Hidden Talents
- A Framework for Shorter, Better Meetings

Should be easy now to decide if you want a management tip of the day.
Catch you later.
