Everyone Deserves a Great Manager

but how many of us have one?

The most difficult issue facing a new manager today is making the transition from an exceptional individual contributor to a manager of people. Goal setting and getting results from a team is very different than setting and accomplishing personal goals. ​

This event will begin to unlock the keys to leadership without sacrificing the qualities of high-performing individual contributors. Whether you are a seasoned manager or brand new to the role, you will put down this book with a better understanding of the basics needed to unleash the power of your team.
