Book content
This AI-Book is part of the collection "The Fundamentals of Management," a series of works dedicated to leaders, executives, managers, team leaders, project managers, entrepreneurs, and all those who wish to better understand the realities of contemporary management.
Each book in this collection explores a major question of management in order to provide the reader with a vision that is both concrete, documented, and directly applicable in professional life.
No manager, even the most experienced, is completely free from making mistakes. Some arise from a lack of experience, others from bad habits, organizational constraints, emotional reactions, or often invisible human mechanisms. Recognizing them is already an essential step towards progress and sustainably enhancing one's effectiveness.
This AI-Book explores the most common mistakes encountered in the daily practice of management: insufficient communication, excessive control, lack of listening, difficulties in delegating, absence of vision, delicate trade-offs, inappropriate decisions, or poorly managed human relationships. It highlights the underlying causes of these mistakes as well as ways to prevent or correct them.
Drawing from a rich corpus of articles, studies, feedback, reflections, and numerous documents dedicated to management, this AI-Book provides you with a genuine interactive knowledge base. Its goal is to help each reader take a step back from their own practices, better understand the situations they face, and gradually develop a more serene, effective, and human management style.
Whether you are a leader, an experienced manager, a future responsible person, or simply eager to improve your managerial practices, this work is an excellent complement to the other AI-Books in the "Fundamentals of Management" collection and, more broadly, to the specialized library "Management & Leadership."
About the author
Entrepreneur, consultant, inventor, and project manager, Gilles de Chezelles has been supporting companies, teams, and project leaders facing complex situations for over 40 years.
His experience has primarily been built on the ground: technical and international projects, innovation, management, change management, troubled projects, or situations where quick analysis, decision-making, and action are required. An inventor and holder of several patents, he also supports innovators in developing their ideas and projects.
Over the years, he has developed an approach based on common sense, pragmatism, listening, and the search for concrete solutions. A way of working that he willingly summarizes with the term "Démerd'Man": understanding the problem, looking at the situation as a whole, and finding a way to move forward, even when everything seems blocked.
His approach to management is based on the same philosophy: understand before acting, give meaning, empower, and allow everyone to find their place in collective action. For him, methods and tools serve people and objectives, never the other way around.
This desire to share experience and make knowledge directly accessible has gradually led him to imagine IA-Book: not just a book to be read, but a work with which the reader can engage, ask their own questions, and build their own discovery journey. This work also tells this adventure: the intellectual journey undertaken, the intuitions, the hesitations, the trials, and the course corrections that have gradually shaped IA-Book.
Through his activities, his works, and today IA-Book, he primarily seeks to transmit his experience and offer tools that enable better understanding, better decision-making, and better action.
