This book, Management 101: Managing for Our Times, is the introductory entry in the Management 101 book series. As a management professor, one of the things that I see is that all too often, we over-rely on the "tried and true" models of managing that serve as the current basis for much of management education and training, even though much of "management thought" hails from the 1920s, '30s, '50s and '70s! Heck, 1980s and '90s stuff is considered "modern" still today by many in the field.

But there's a whole new world of management ideas, and this is what I want to open your eyes to what are some of the emerging and really cutting-edge ideas out there. Unprecedented times call for unprecedented models and ideas for managing people and businesses. And this is precisely what this series aims to do: Give you the latest tools in management. I hope that you will enjoy - and get a whole lot out of this book! And if you like it, please pass along the book - or even just your favorite chapters, drawn from Dr. Wyld's articles from Medium collected in this volume to your colleagues, your employees, and maybe, even your manager!
