Managing People

Description

How to lead, motivate and harness the power of your team

Most managers fail. Some 70% of employees say they are dissatisfied with their line manager. A shocking 50% are labelled as incompetent, a disappointment or a wrong hire by their co-workers. But, what do we expect when over half of new managers are given no training when they are promoted? Becoming a manager isn't a progression; it's an entirely new job.

Penguin Expert Series - Managing People is a manual for managers who want to succeed in their new job, motivate and direct their teams and establish a working culture where everyone wants to do their best work. The book condenses Simon Birkenhead's decades of experience working as a team leader. He reveals what makes a good manager, highlights common pitfalls to avoid, and presents his tried and tested 'four-lever framework.'

With strategies to activate motivation in your team, set goals and expectations, provide feedback and coaching, and build a high-performance culture, accompanied by plenty of examples from across industries, this is everything first-time managers need to succeed and be the boss that everyone wants to work for.
