Publisher's summary

Discover how to be a good manager - motivate inspire!

Do you know that much of what you've learned about management and supervising is wrong? Are you aware that many of the business books you've read and classes you've attended have little or nothing to do with real life? Do you realize that much of the training you've taken about how to be an effective supervisor of a team of people actually serves to slow projects down, fails to inspire, and produces more work for everyone?

Nothing taught in schools prepares anyone for real life on the job. In other words, experience is the best teacher.

Richard Lowe Jr, a leader at Trader Joe's for almost 20 years, and a Vice President of two consulting companies before that, explains the lessons he learned the hard way about how to motivate and manage a staff of highly trained technical people. This is not some dry theoretical manuscript; instead, it's based on successes and failures from the school of hard knocks.

If you've always wondered whether you're doing things right - or if you're frustrated that your team isn't getting the best results, then this book is for you.

Inside how to be a good manager, you'll discover the secrets I've learned throughout the years in the trenches of project and people management.

  • How to divide tasks
  • How to deal with the boss
  • How to network, grow your connections and encourage success
  • Handling constantly changing demands and priorities
  • And more!

Deep Honest Insight based on her experience

I did not agree (based on my experience); but it was seriously good food for thought in a concise way.

mehm..maybe

I think I just overall expected more or something a bit different but then again you get what you pay for right. But truly that isn't to say what is here is bad, just wasn't what I was expecting from the title...short and sweet.

Organizational steps

I loved how every chapter began with each step you will face as a newly appointed supervisor in any roll. This book was short and simple but to the points that matter
