Managing Through The Entrepreneurial Fog

As a manager, you have the opportunity to inspire those under your purview to the point where they feel privileged to have you as their leader. It may be a lot of work to get there, but it can be done. In Managing through the Entrepreneurial Fog, author Tim Koprowski Sr. addresses the necessary steps for successfully managing people toward a common goal. It begins by delving into the world of management by presenting a new philosophy called “Play by the Rules.” Sharing anecdotes that give the rationale behind its foundation, Koprowski describes a unique and complete approach to managing people based on twenty-three key concepts. He then discusses how this philosophy was used to strengthen the foundation on which a start-up company was built. He traces the story of a software company for the healthcare industry that began with virtually nothing and later became a formidable force for well-established companies to contend with. Providing candid accounts of the various challenges the business faced, Koprowski explains how the concepts from “Play by the Rules” played an integral role in examining the company’s failures and turning them into successes. A practical tutorial for potential, current, and new managers, Managing through the Entrepreneurial Fog illustrates the application of an effective management philosophy put into practice in the workplace.

A trail of mismanaged or terminated projects in recent years has cost the North American economy $100 to $150 billion dollars annually in lost productivity and shareholders capital. Unfortunately, the gap between project selection and project execution is often symptomatic of the onset of Project Fog, an all too familiar business situation in which projects are started and stopped constantly; resources fall short of the project workload to be executed; and, in the end, the entire effort is seen as a failure. A guide to sidestepping the usual hazards that often spell Project Fog, this book bridges the gap between executives who develop strategy and decide what projects get approved, and the project managers who have to execute those projects flawlessly. It provides a roadmap so that project managers can partner with executives to align their portfolio of projects with overall business strategy, ensuring that things get done right.
