Description
The Decisive Manager is an ideal resource for anyone, at any level, who manages people and the problems that arise. It's an essential read for working out issues between coworkers, addressing problem areas, and getting everyone on track to succeed.
People issues seem to arise out of nowhere and just don't go away. It's critical that managers handle them right.
As a manager, you need to know so many things about managing people, but you don't even know what to ask! The Decisive Manager can help. With examples of typical situations that managers encounter and advice on how to handle them, it's an easy-to-use guide for people managers with information on everything from hiring to firing, and everything in between.
- Finding and Hiring the Best Talent: recruiting, interviewing, job posting, job offers, onboarding, and more.
- Creating a Positive Employee Experience: employee engagement, retention, and employee motivation.
- Paying and Rewarding Employees: compensation transparency, employee wellness and mental health, and rewards and recognition.
- Helping Employees Grow and Develop: creating a learning culture, strategies for doing so, and the manager's role in employee development.
- Understanding Policies and Practices: the role of policies, applying them to specific situations, handling harassment and office romance.
- Ensuring Graceful Endings: layoffs, terminations for cause, exit interviews and more.
The important issues surrounding remote and hybrid work are also addressed, including how to best support your staff, onboarding from afar, and maintaining accountability yet flexibility for all.
Concerned about navigating the changing workplace and avoiding legal pitfalls? There are questions and essential answers about these issues, too. Managing people correctly is critical to every manager's success. The Decisive Manager will help with those unexpected challenges that arise too often. This is an essential read for all who lead.
Practical. Relevant. Easy to grasp. I wish I had THIS book when I became a manager. - Mack Munro, Founder & CEO, Boss Builders
