Maria Morozova-Duthoit: The Work Smarter Guide for New Managers, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

'In a world full of leadership advice, this book gives new managers what they actually need: practical tools, clarity of vision and the courage to lead their own way.' - David Ponzo, Louis Vuitton Chief Commercial Officer

So, you've got the title - now what?

Becoming a manager doesn't come with a user manual -most people are left improvising their way through
the role without any real training or support. Whether you're leading a team for the first time or still feel like an imposter in a job you've held for a while, this book is your practical, compassionate companion.
Author, leadership coach and former Google director Maria Duthoit breaks the journey into five clear missions that cut through the noise. You'll learn how to shift from expert to people leader, tackle difficult conversations with confidence, coach and grow your team, hire and fire wisely and navigate the bigger picture - from managing upwards to office politics. Most of all, you'll be encouraged to find your own style, instead of copying others or trying to 'get it right'.
This isn't another list of best practices. It's a thoughtful, funny and deeply human guide to making sense of leadership on your own terms - and actually enjoying the journey.

The 'Work Smarter' series provides shortcuts, tips and life-hacks for the development of essential business skills. The books bring together accomplished industry experts who have learned their trades at the coalface. They teach the skills ambitious businesspeople need in order to tip the playing field in their favour. It is the pirate equivalent of business advice; the antidote to conventional wisdom; 'smarter' practice over 'best practice'.
