The National Political Publishing House, Truth, published for the second time the book "A, B, C on the 'profession' of leadership and management" by former Deputy Prime Minister Vu Khoan (1937-2023), providing useful and interesting reference materials about a rather special "profession".

With the desire to share with readers the most valuable experiences and lessons learned from 50 years of "working in the profession," in 2017, former Deputy Prime Minister Vu Khoan wrote the book "A, B, C about the "profession" of leadership and management".

In any position, he has made important contributions and left his own mark. As a practical activist, he always struggles with new problems arising in the process of work and research, seeking solutions.

Through practical activities, he has contemplated and drawn out many valuable and practical knowledge and experiences about the "profession" of leadership and management, which are presented in the book.

In this edition, the book has been converted to a small format with moderate thickness, providing readers with the most basic information about the "profession" of leadership and management in the socio-political system, including party organizations, state management apparatus, public service units and socio-political organizations.

As the author humbly admits, this is like a "professional handbook," gathering the knowledge he has read and researched to write presentations, combining practical experiences over 50 years of his "profession" on this topic.

With the leadership and management positions he has held, the contributions and marks he has left in his "profession", and his profound intelligence and thinking, the book is not simply a "professional handbook", providing basic information about the "profession" of leadership and management, but it is the knowledge, understanding and experience that the author has distilled during his more than half a century of working and accumulating.

The book's content is structured into 5 chapters, systematically presenting basic, important, and necessary contents for the "profession" of leadership and management such as: history of leadership and management science and some general concepts; authority and standards of leaders and managers; organizational work; methods of using people; some leadership and management skills.

The book's natural yet rigorous approach and simple yet profound writing style reflect his style and intellect. Even theoretical issues are presented in a simple, easy-to-understand manner, filled with the breath of life.

"The A, B, C of leadership and management" means the most basic knowledge of leadership and management. It is a way of speaking close to everyday language and shows the modesty of a learned mind.

The book is a valuable document for leaders, managers and readers interested in this issue.
