Hi John - I used "Classics of Public Administration" by Jay M. Shafritz
and Albert C. Hyde, to study for Part 1. I don't think the book
included EVERY management style discussed in the CRM study outline, but
it had about 75% of them and for the rest, I was able to "google" with
pretty good results. I never had a business class in college, but a
friend gave me this book from her class and it helped quite a bit. It's
now in my "donate to the library" pile, but if you'd like me to mail you
the book, I'd be happy to do so! Perhaps you can then pass it on to
another aspiring CRM when the time comes!
Let me know!
Thanks,

Subject: Re: [RM] Certification and the Profession
This has been and always will be a hot topic.
I recently applied and was approved to sit as a candidate for the CRM.
Why
did I do this after 18 years in the business? First of all, it will
help
my future. As many have already discussed, it is being asked for in
many
new job postings. Second, it acts as a measuring rod for the knowledge
I
have gained through the years. As I view the CRM course outline, I
realize there is a great deal that I do not know about the RIM business.
We should always be on a learning curve. Thirdly, just to see if I can
do
this. If only 900 or so people have been accredited, it is obviously
not
easily gained.
For years, I have wanted to strive for this and have now taken the first
step. Prior to this, I was a RIM professional who felt that this was
not
needed and was part of an elitist group. I don't feel that way any
more.
I would encourage all who wish to advance themselves in the RIM business
to apply. Will this be easy...absolutely not? Will it stretch
me.....you
bet.
For the CRM'S on this list, can you recommend a resource for studying
Part
I, Management Principles? I truly appreciate any help or comments which
you can provide either through the list or off-list.
Thanks,
