Organizations are often complex and unwieldy, and many managers
have difficulty in combining ideals and positive identities with
the complexities and imperfections of life. They are expected to be
strategic and competent, while at the same time human and
empathetic. This engaging book takes a fresh look at managerial
work as experienced and understood by managers. It examines the
central tenets of managerial life, such as the work expectations
that managers have, the significance they assign to different
activities, and the difficulties that they face. It also takes a
wider view of working life by looking at subordination in the
managerial context. The theoretical material is supported by
in-depth interviews with thirteen managers from different
organizations. This book will appeal to those with an interest in
management, and in leadership and identity questions in modern
working life.
