Book description
Practical advice for making the shift to your first leadership position
The number of people who will become first-time supervisors will
likely grow in the next 10 years, as Baby Boomers retire. Perhaps the
most challenging leadership experience anyone will face isn't one at
the top, but their first promotion to leadership. They must deal with
the change and uncertainty that comes with a new job, requiring new
skills, and they've been promoted from peer to leader. While the book
addresses the needs of any manager, supervisor, or leader, it pulls
from the best leadership and management thinking, and puts the focus
on the difficulties that new leaders experience.
- Includes practical information for new managers who must
supervise friends and former peers
- Authors are expert consultants who work with leaders at all levels
- Shows how to adopt the mindset of a leader, including:
communicating change, giving feedback, coaching employees, leading
productive teams, and achieving goals
This much-needed book can help new leaders get beyond the stress and
fear to focus on becoming the most effective leader they can
be-starting right now.
