Abstract:
The Emergent Manager looks closely at the lives of managers in a range of settings and how they make sense of their pasts, presents and futures as managers and as people with identities outside the workplace. This book provides a new understanding of the nature of management work and of the way people make sense of their lives as managers across a range of workplaces from civil service departments and building societies to shops, restaurants and schools.
