These kinds of books usually tend to be boring and full of unnecessary paragraphs. However, I found "The Rules of Management" to be interesting. It consists of 107 rules with each rule summarised in 1.5 pages.
The book is divided into two sections: 1) managing your team, 2) managing yourself. I liked the first section more.
I would definitely go back to some rules on the book from time to time.

يحتوي الكتاب على 100 قاعدة من قواعد الإدارة
34 قاعدة لإدارة فريق العمل
66 قاعدة لإدارة نفسك

نلاحظ أن قواعد إدارة النفس أكثر من قواعد إدارة فريق العمل لأن قيادة النفس تؤدي إلى قيادة مميزة لفريق العمل.

الكتاب رائع، تمت ترجمته من قبل مكتبة جرير ، انصح بقراءته

لو أنت مدير.
أو هتبقي مدير.
أو بتحب الإدارة.
أو عندك مدير سئ ونفسك تعرف الإدارة الصح بتتعمل إزاي.

ده كتاب اسمه قواعد الإدارة، فيه ١٠٠ قاعدة ازاي تدير.

٣٥ قاعدة ازاى تدير الناس و٦٥ قاعدة إزاي تدير نفسك.

الكتاب خفيف ٢٧٠ صفحة بس لكن الفايده منه عظيمه.

من فضل ربنا عليا أني كنت بطبق جزء كبير من القواعد قبل ما اقرا الكتاب من عشر سنين كنت بدير ١٥ شخص من الافاضل منهم ناس كانت قد عمري مرتين وتلاته.

وبفضل الله عملنا إنجازات كتير ومكاسب وتوسع وخدمة عملاء والاهم أن لحد النهارده المحبة موصولة وده دلالة علي نجاح منهجي الاداري معاهم أنهم يفتكروا ايامي بالخير والعمل اتأثر لما سيبناه لدرجة ان التيرن أوفر بقي عالي جدا بعدها.

الشاهد أن الكتاب ده عبقري ومتدخل جدا في الإدارة وفي الحياة الطبيعية خارج العمل.

وازاي تبقي مدير ناجح وانسان، حازم وودود.

اقراوه تفلحوا.

[Bob Selden · Rating 3 out of 5]

Richard Templa in The Rules Of Management sets out to write the “unwritten” rules of management – the things they don’t teach in training courses and management textbooks. He suggests that readers will know all or most of the content already “Yes, it is all really bleeding obvious”, but many will not be applying the rules on a regular basis. Templa’s aim is to have the reader think a little more about each rule and ask “whether or not you do it”. The book is split into two parts; managing your team and managing you.

By a stroke of good fortune, luck or really good planning, Templa comes up with exactly 100 Rules of Management – everything from “Hold effective meetings – no, really effective” (Rule 4) to “Don’t cut corners – you’ll get found out” (Rule 98). So, it has a very comprehensive coverage of everything to do with getting results through other people.

Most of the 100 rules are valid and appropriate. Although I am not an avid fan of Templa’s conversational style in The Rules Of Management (that’s a personal observation, as other readers may find it quite appealing), my suggestion for improving the book is in “application” of the 100 rules. For example Rule 2 states “Know what a team is and how it works” and gives a brief summary of Belbin’s nine team roles. However, there is no explanation of how to identify these within a team nor how to use them. This is a major failing of the book.

Templar has achieved his purpose – to write the unwritten rules of management. It’s also likely to get managers thinking about what they should do. If you’re looking for an easy to read book (most rules are covered in two pages or less) on identifying what’s required to be a manager, then this book maybe for you. However, if you want to find out how to apply many of the unwritten rules, then you’ll need to go to some of the referenced source material or other application type books.

My boss gave me this book and I really enjoyed calling him out when he tried to use the tricks from the book on me.

كتاب فريد..... 🌸

[Asmaa Mostafa · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is my second book from the rules series written by Richard Templar,
Here's what I love about his books, they are short, to the point, and full of key messages no repetition, no fluff.

His book the rules of work has taught me a lot and has helped me reach higher positions at work and this book has truly helped me understand and learn how to manage the team like a true rules player.

The book is full of good rules to help you manage your team, and rules to manage yourself, which is more important.

Totally recommended I would suggest you read the rules of work then you level up to this one.

[Geanina Ambrus · Rating 3 out of 5]

Asta e o carte foarte valoroasa din punct de vedere a continutului prin prisma faptului ca prezinta o latura a managementului care nu se invata la cursuri. Limbajul, insa, e unul simplist si simt ca-i stirbeste din valoare. Ce-i drept, eu am citit o traducere (destul de precara) de la editura Niculescu din care transpare foarte usor exprimarea din limba engleza. Dar cred ca traducerea e cumva pe masura materialului original.

[Gokhan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Bana öyle geliyor ki, en etkin liderler, hiçbir zaman 'ben' demeyenlerdir. Kendilerini 'ben' dememek için eğittiklerinden değil. Düşünürken 'ben' diye düşünmezler. Hep 'biz' diye düşünürler, 'bizim ekip' diye düşünürler.

[Eyal Ben-Shir · Rating 5 out of 5]

A witty and insightful book with nuggets of wisdom throughout. The author imparts crucial principles of management in reader friendly fashion. Highly recommended for those who want to improve on their managerial flair. “Head up, not head down” - Rule 62 💪🏻

The second part of the book is what the business schools fail to teach.

[Nicholas Whyte]

http://nhw.livejournal.com/441757.html[return][return]I like to buy the occasional personal development book, and this was a) cheap and b) the best-selling such at Heathrow Airport so I bought and read it pretty quickly. It's simply 100 top tips for managers, each explained in one or two pages, not in fact very well structured except that the first third are things to do with your team and the rest are things to do with your own work habits. A couple of ideas that gave me pause for thought, but I must say the other books I've read in this genre were much more potentially useful.

[Della · Rating 5 out of 5]

Buku bagus untuk para manajer, calon manajer, atau yg masih jauh dari manajer. Paling ga kita adalah manajer bagi diri kita sendiri. Di buku ini dijelaskan secara point list hal-hal yang sebaiknya dan tidak dilakukan oleh seorang manajer. Melihat meja kerja kita sendiri adalah cara termudah menilai apakah kita seorang manajer yang baik atau tidak. Berantakankah atau tersusun rapi? Inti buku ini adalah kemampuan berkomunikasi, menjaga konsentrasi, kemampuan belajar di bawah pressure kerjaan lain, dan disiplin. Mungkin sudah sering kita dengar dari orang lain. Tapi menemukannya kembali dalam satu buku dengan contoh2 real sungguh menyenangkan. Highly recommended deh untuk di baca.

[Khalid · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Rules of Management is a simple set of rules for managers to follow, both with themselves and their teams. These 100 rules are simple rules you probably know already, but the book puts them in an interesting way, reminding you of them, and giving you some beautiful advice about management.

I would recommend that anyone who is interested in the communication between a manager and an employee (that includes both, the manager AND the employee), to look at this book.

Of course knowing these rules is one thing, but applying them? That's another story altogether ...

[Iveta · Rating 3 out of 5]

I would say that the book is more fit and valuable for those working in a super corporate world with strict internal rules. Otherwise, there were things I did not agreed on and things that offered some really great insights. 3/5 🌟

كتاب رائع شامل حقاً صحيح أن تبويبه وعناوينه لا تخدم كثيراً لكن مضمونه يلخص كثيراً من الكتب الإدارية التي قرأتها بشكل متناسق ..
بالمناسبة اتخذت قرارات إدارية ناجحة عديدة بفضل الله ثم بفضله وغير من طريقة تفكيري وتعاملي مع أعضاء فريقي بشكل ملموس.

١٠٠ قاعدة في الادارة لا غنى عنها ،بأسلوب موجز. وشامل

[Musaadalhamidi · Rating 4 out of 5]

كتاب «قواعد الإدارة» لصاحبه «ريتشارد تمبلر» الذي ألقى الضوء على مجموعة قواعد مهمة في الإدارة، حيث يبدأ الكتاب بتعريف الإدارة حسب وجهة نظر «تمبلر» الذي يرى أن المدير هو الشخص الذي يتحمل مسؤولية وضع الخطط والقواعد والميزانية العامة للشركة التي يعمل فيها، إلى جانب قيادة فريقه والإشراف عليه وتقييم أدائه، وإسناد المهام بشكل عملي ومدروس بقصد تحقيق رؤية الشركة وأهدافها.
كما يقسم الكتاب إلى قسمين:
القسم الأول: إدارة فريق العمل
تتركز مهمة المدير الأولى حسبما يرى «تمبلر» في إدارة العمليات لا إدارة الموظفين، لأن الموظفين يستطيعون قيادة أنفسهم عندما تتاح لهم الفرصة. وهنا يأتي دور المدير في وضع الاستراتيجيات والخطط، في حين يعمل فريقه على تنفيذها على أرض الواقع.
ورغم ذلك، ينبغي على كل مدير أن يتعاطف مع موظفيه ويكون سنداً لهم، ويعرف سماتهم المميزة حتى يستطيع التعامل مع كل واحد أو مجموعة منهم بشكل مهني، فالتعامل مع المتخصصين في توليد الأفكار «المخططون» يختلف عن أسلوب التعامل مع الذين يتصفون بالتنظيم «المنسقون»، وعن مراقبي الأداء الذين يمتازون بالقدرة على تحليل الأمور بشكل منطقي، وبالتالي ففهم هذه الفروقات يتيح للمدير الجيد اختيار المهام تبعاً لأي نمط ينتمي إليه الموظف.
ويؤكد «تمبلر» في كتابه على أهمية الاجتماعات لما لها من دور في حل المشكلات وابتكار الأفكار، مع تأكيده على ضرورة مزج الاجتماعات بعنصر الفكاهة والمرح، حتى يشعر الموظف بالأريحية التي تساعده على توليد أفكار إبداعية.
القسم الثاني: إدارة النفس
المدير الجيد في نظر «تمبلر» هو القدوة لفريقه، لأنه المسؤول عن تحديد المهام ووضع القواعد واللوائح التنظيمية، لذلك فهو المسؤول الأول عن تنفيذ ما وضعه بيديه، كما أنه من المهم للغاية أن يمتلك كل مدير القدرة على التركيز، فيفصل العمل عن الحياة الشخصية، حتى يبدع في منصبه ويحقق أعلى الإنجازات.
وفي النهاية، فإن الإدارة علم وفن وخبرة تكتسب بالمران والتدريب المتواصل. والمدير الجيد هو القادر على إدارة فريقه وإدارة نفسه أولاً حتى يكون قدوة للجميع. أما مسألة العمر فباتت من الماضي، حيث أصبحت الكثير من الشركات اليوم لا تتوانى عن توظيف المديرين الصغار في السن، طالما أنهم يملكون عقولاً متفتحة وقابلية للتعلم والتطور ومواكبة التغيرات التي تحدث كل يوم في سوق العمل.
كما أن المهارات الشخصية اليوم مثل مهارة الإقناع والتفاوض وغيرها أصبحت من أكثر الأشياء التي تركز الشركات والمؤسسات عليها عندما تريد توظيف المديرين، بل إن تلك المهارات أصبحت أهم بكثير من الخبرات العملية والشهادات الأكاديمية.

Managing Self, Situations, and Projects

This was an awesome read. I loved how Richard gave us these rules of managing ourselves and others. One key takeaway for me is that managers don't manage people; they manage situations and projects. I found that to be the truth for me. As a former manager, I gave instructions, guidelines, directions, motivation, etc to my team so that they can understand their job and the roles they play in the organization. I cannot mange their emotions; I can manage mine. I can't manage their responses, I can manage mine. The best thing managers and anyone who is in any supervisory role can and should do is understand that you set the tone for how your team operates. In turn, you allow your team to handle the workload. You, as the manager get to manage and handle the various situations as they arise and the many projects that occur. Once you know how to manage the self, you can then set the tone to manage what I mentioned previously. Remember, all leaders are managers, but all managers are not leaders.

Mmm
The Rules of Management by Richard Templar is a great and simply laid-out guide to effective management, offering valuable insights on managing both yourself and your team. Divided into clear, digestible sections, the book focuses on practical tips and timeless principles that are easy to implement, regardless of your experience level.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It not only reinforced what I am already doing well in my role but also reminded me of areas where I can continue to grow and refine my approach. Templar’s straightforward writing style and actionable advice make it an engaging read, whether you’re new to management or a seasoned leader seeking a fresh perspective.

This book is an excellent resource for anyone looking to become a more confident, balanced, and effective manager. Its relatable examples and no-nonsense guidance are perfect for reflecting on your own practices and setting clear goals for improvement. Highly recommended for managers at any stage of their career.

[Shekhzad Yousif · Rating 4 out of 5]

Richard Templar makes everything easy through his rules. The Rules of management are great rules, especially, for the senior manager. They give value to who managing the team. Being a manager is an ongoing learning experience, andy he says: management is an art and science. It's totally right when he says, encourage people because the more responsibility you give, the more you trust them, the more praise them, the more you encourage them, the more they'll give you in return. Here I'd like to add this also, nothing teaches us better than a better competitor, and why? How? What? The book involved of two parts, the first part about how to manage your team and the other about how to manage yourself.
Use key,
- Accept their limitation
- Encourage people
- Respect individual differences
- Listen to ideas from others
- Work hard - Be creative
- Share what you know
- Ask questions
- Be aware of your responsibilities
