In 2003, Eric Swenson quit his job and wrote a book about management and leadership based on his seventeen years of experience working for two large corporations. Now, seventeen years later, he has updated the book with stories and anecdotes from his experience running his own business and working with hundreds of business owners and C-suite executives.
Despite the many changes in technology and business over the past generation, the hallmarks of great leaders have remained the same. Eric's core principles of leadership are relevant for managers of people in any generation, business, industry, or role.
Managing People is a book written by a manager for managers and packed with practical, everyday advice that anyone can learn and adapt to their own teams. This is not high-level theory but rather in-the-trenches knowledge from someone who has been there and done that -- as a manager, as a strategic advisor, and as a business owner.
