About us

Pocket Manager Books started life as ‘The Management Guides’ over 20 years ago, during which time the series sold over 1.3 million copies, translated into in over 17 languages.

The original books were written as a response to the lack of small, easily comprehensible, management books to help newly promoted managers get to grips with the complexities of the management dilemmas they would inevitably face during their professional development.

Since their re-launch as Pocket Manager Books in 2013, these books now focus on helping Entrepreneurs and Small Business owners to develop the relevant skills and knowledge to assist them in building and running a successful business.

Based on sound psychological principles, they put the entrepreneur at the heart of the business equation, because without a skillful and flourishing leader, the most valuable asset of the enterprise, no business is likely to reach its potential.

Pocket Manager Books provide you with an easy entry into the world of management. They are your ‘starter for 10’. They get you going and provide you with essential underpinning knowledge, as well as practical actions to help you move forward and achieve your goals and dreams.
