Soundview Executive Book Summaries to Host Interactive Webinar with Devora Zack

PRLog (Press Release) - Nov. 2, 2012 - 42% of new managers don’t understand what it takes to succeed, only 23% actually want to lead, and barely one in ten is groomed for the job, according to a study from Development Dimensions International.

At this Soundview Live webinar, Management Success for the Reluctant and the Unprepared, Devora Zack will make the case that it’s possible for managers to succeed and enjoy the job in the process. Drawing on the Meyer-Briggs Type Indicator, Zack will help attendees identify which type of manager they might be—a thinker or a feeler—in order to develop a management style that fits their personality.
