FranklinCovey knows that managers are desperate for help - especially employees who go from managing tasks to managing people. They yearn for training and tools to help them become more confident, effective, and valued. This practical and inspirational guide offers the solution with guidance, tips and insights that are relevant, easily applicable, based on credible expertise, and will fit into the manager’s hectic daily schedule.

The focus of the book is to give managers the information they need in a way that they can absorb quickly. They can pick up a helpful tip in 10-minutes or glean an entire skill-set with a deeper reading. The goal is for the busy manager to know what to do and how to do it without interrupting their regular workflow.

Each role highlights the current, authentic problems managers face and briefly explores the limiting mindsets or common mistakes that led to those problems. The book has 29 skill-based chapters, which cover essential managerial skills like one-on-ones, giving feedback, delegating, hiring, building team culture, and leading remote teams. The book also includes over 30 unique tools, such as a prep worksheet for your next one-on-one and a list of over 100 behavioural questions for your next interview.
