Recommend good book on how to be a successful manager?

Question

My husband is accepting a management job in his field. He has over 10 years experience supervising and training staff, but has never directly interviewed and hired staff. Does anyone know any good books on how to be a successful manager, what to ask potential new-hires in the interview, and any other good information on management?

Answer 2

I would suggest his first step is to speak to the person who hired him and ask his advice.  In most organisations there is an "ethos" that could not be captured from a book aimed at a general readership.  Essentially, if the company wants him to hire their kind of people they are going to need to ensure he knows what they want.

Further, most hiring is done by two people one from personnel/human resources and the other the line manager.  One is concerned that the hiree is capable of work, the other that the hiree can do the required work.  Most companies hire on the basis of a probationary period, he will need to know about this.

Essentially, if he has taken advice from within the company and things go wrong it is their problem, if he has read a book and things go wrong, he will have a lot of time to read books.
