De managementwereld is georganiseerd, maar tegelijkertijd ook complex en dynamisch. Managers hebben bepaalde vaardigheden nodig om in deze wereld te kunnen functioneren. Het Handboek Managementvaardigheden leert de (toekomstige) manager deze vaardigheden. Het boek is opgezet rondom een raamwerk van leiderschapscompetenties: het concurrerende-waardenmodel. Dit model bestaat uit acht verschillende rollen (mentor, stimulator, controleur, coördinator, bestuurder, producent, bemiddelaar en innovator) die de manager moet kunnen vervullen. Elke rol kent drie verschillende vaardigheden, die gepresenteerd worden rond een leermodel van vijf stappen: Inschatting, Leren, Analyse, Oefening en Toepassing. Deze derde editie van het Handboek Managementvaardigheden is helemaal aangepast aan de laatste ontwikkelingen en inzichten. Zo is er ruime aandacht voor ICT en nieuwe stof over onder andere emotionele intelligentie en kritisch denken. Bovendien zijn er tal van nieuwe voorbeelden, cases, checklists en tips opgenomen. Dit boek is bedoeld om (toekomstige) managers te leren de 24 competenties toe te passen die ze nodig zullen hebben om als effectieve managers op te treden. Daarnaast is het boek zeer geschikt voor zelfstudie en als uitgebreid naslagwerk. Robert E. Quinn is verbonden aan de Graduate School of Business van de University of Michigan.
