Book of the month

Slice through the hierarchy of any organisation and in the middle you will find a layer of managers, and it is this management group that is the focus of Paul Osterman's latest book, entitled The Truth About Middle Managers: Who They Are, How They Work, Why They Matter.rnPM book reviewer Professor Bruce Lloyd FCMI of London South Bank University, says: "Paul Osterman argues that middle managers are wealthier, more productive and more autonomous than expected, and 'they derive a great deal of pleasure from their day-to-day work'; although, at the same time, they are increasingly cynical about and distant from their organisations, as well as being confused about their future and how to manage their careers.
