The 50-Minute Manager Series was designed to cover critical business and professional development topics in the shortest time possible.

Those who know how to touch type with ten fingers without looking down at the keyboard are usually more focused, more efficient, and more productive. The KAZ Method, developed in the UK by Gotham New Media, is designed to help learners master touch typing in as little as 90 minutes. Through a combination of word association and your own natural dexterity, you will learn how to type using all ten fingers and how to make firm keystrokes without looking at the keyboard or growing fatigued. This book contains numerous fingures and illustrations to help you easily identify the keys you will focus on in each lesson as well as hands-on exercises to help you practice your new skills and test your understanding of the content.
