Awesome Supervisory Skills: Seven Lessons for Young, First-Time Managers
No matter how confident you are in your abilities there is always that defining moment that occurs as you transition from the excitement of being a new boss to the stomach churning fear that you might blow the opportunity to be a good boss. Until you have been a supervisor for a long time there is no way you can be really good at it. The problem is the world won't wait for you to learn on the job you need to be ready to earn the respect of your team from day one.
This book is designed to give you the wisdom of 40 years of real world management skills experience packed in to a short powerful book you can read in one weekend to teach the management essentials you need to succeed. It explains the common mistakes the typical new manager will make so you won't fall in to the same traps they have. It explains the underlying motivations that prevent managers from being successful because they are trying to hard to be nice or too hard to be tough. It explains how "the New sheriff" strategy can destroy your ability to create a high functioning team. And it helps you learn the correct leader mindset you need to be the kind of boss that everyone will want to work for.
The need to be liked, the need to be needed, the need to be right, the need to be treated fairly, the need to procrastinate, the need to value judge, and the need to resist reality are natural drives that keep people with a good heart from being a good boss.
Leaders will experiment with new methods, a BossHole will only do it the way they were taught.
