A Super-Short Introduction/How-2 for Managing a Team

"Manage a Team"
Wired How-to Wiki

"Managing a team means more than just doling out work. Chances are, you'll be dealing with different personalities and working styles and that you'll be juggling multiple deadlines at once. It's a job that requires both a high level of organization and what they call 'people skills.'..."

There's not a whole lot more to the article than that: but what's there makes sense.

I'd like to believe that people who are - or soon will be - managers will read this, and start studying more about what to do. And, what not to do.

On the other hand, I figure that quite a few people who read this won't be managers - and that they'll daydream about how great it would be if their manager had run across something like this.

Seriously? A pretty good uber-short introduction to the topic of 'how to manage.'
