Here are my choices for gifts you can give on Father's Day to someone who is, or wants to be, a manager. Managers are as varied as any other group of people, with a variety of hobbies and interests. Try to match the gift to what you know about the person.
1) Executive Gift Pens
A selection of moderately priced pens that look good and convey a sense of value. My peronal favorite is the third choice, the black Cross pen.
2) Executive Putting System
This is ideal for the manager who doesn't get to spend as much time on the golf course as he would like. This take-it-with-you set lets you turn your office or hallway into a practice green.
3) Leadership Books
One of the most important career enhancement skills is leadership. These books best articulate Leadership as the art of getting people to move together toward a goal they don't yet see.
4) Personal Digital Assistant (PDA)
The Palm m515 Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) is a great way for any manager to stay organized. Here are several price options for buying one. If your budget won't cover the PDA for Dad, consider the accessories listed toward the bottom. (Make sure they are designed for the PDA your Dad has.)
5) Magnetic Dartboard
This dartboard features magnetic tipped darts to protect the office walls. It provides a useful diversion for any manager and can, if needed, be used to "make" decisions.
6) BBQ Tool Sets
Does your Dad like to burn, oops I mean BBQ, food outdoors as I do? Here are a selection of BBQ tool sets under $50 to make it easier for him.
