The New Manager's Workbook: A Crash Course in Effective Management

This book is great. You can do a complete read through or grab the chapter that you might be struggling with today. I like the lists and the worksheets the best. It helps me see what my strategy will be and keeps me organized.The following chapters I keep on hand - the most important is Chapter 3, Conducting Meetings. No matter where you are in the companies' structure, THIS is what I found most useful. SO many MANAGERS do not UNDERSTAND 1) The power of a meeting 2) why we are meeting and 3) what is the take away from the meeting. Randy KNOCKS IT OUT OF THE PARK. He breaks down the reasoning behind the meeting and what we all should be doing in it. LOVE IT. Productive meetings are so much better than the meeting to meet to find out about the meeting - YOU ALL HAVE BEEN THERE! I KNOW IT. Check it out - Chapter 3! PS There is also an evaluation of your performance which is KEY!!!! If you don't rate yourself and have others rate you, what are you doing?????I had never heard of Silo Busting (Chapter 6) INCREDIBLE insight and valuable information about Silo Busting and how to see it, recognize it, destroy it for better team management. There is a plan and a many ways to effectively change behavior of team members for better outcomes. Relevant stuff you can seriously implement NOW without a budget.And if that wasn't enough there is even more great info on actual Behavior Modification in Chapter 9! ACTUAL help on how to get someone who may not be on board; on board. If you have ever had an employee that just doesn't "get it", THIS BOOK CAN HELP YOU! I could go on and on about the great stuff, just do yourself a favor and get the book. You are going to wish there was a live and in person seminar - great book, great author who communicates on a real level. Thank you Randy!

Most leadership experts agree it's the front-line manager who is critical to the organization's success.. Then why do so few employers invest do make their new managers better faster.Share Randy's New Managers Workbook with your team and watch how much more confident your managers are in leading their teams.Written to help new managers excel, this is a great coaching tool to help accelerate your new managers development. Easy to read and fun to implement this book should be part of every new managers' toolkit.

This is a fairly generic approach to management with some good insights. If you're going into a technical management position, this book may not be the best choice for you.
