Description

In your career, or anyone's, there is one transition that stands out as the most crucial—going from individual performer to competent manager.

New managers must learn how to lead others rather than doing the work themselves, to win trust and respect, to motivate, and to strike the right balance between delegation and control. Many fail to make the transition successfully.

In this timeless, essential book, Harvard Business School professor and leadership guru Linda Hill traces the experiences of nineteen new managers over the course of their first year in the role. She reveals the complexity of the transition, highlighting the expectations of the managers, their subordinates, and their superiors.
