Management is Dead
Management is dead. People development is the future.
The old "carrot vs stick" way of leadership just doesn't work anymore. But most of us know this. We're currently experiencing the pain of it with The Great Resignation and Quiet Quitting.
In Management is Dead, authors Chris Heaslip and Matt Tresidder present a new way to lead, that they're calling people development. The book walks through the 5 foundations of people development and how to implement them within your organization today for a more engaged and effective workforce.
The authors share cautionary tales and lessons learned from building a billion-dollar company together and co-founding Leadr People Development Software. The book is packed with practical tools and templates you can use to engage and grow every person on your team.
With Gallup data telling us that only 33% of employees are thriving, we can't afford to not make a change.
People development is not a fad; it's a foundation. Ignore it, and you'll be left behind. Embrace it, and you'll be a part of the revolution. Implement it, and you'll reap incredible benefits.
Let's move forward. Together.

A Timely Resource
I appreciated this book. So much of the leadership philosophy is right in alignment with how I think, lead and want to be led.
People development > people management is the best way to invest in others. If we truly care as leaders, then we will take the time out to pour into others.
If you want a refresher, some new ideas and principles on leading your team well, then pick up a copy of this book.

Consistent communication casts out confusion and fills the void with clarity. Loved the ideas about building relationships with and truly developing the people we lead. Their program might be like killing a fly with a machine gun for us lol but there are definitely some amazing and good takeaways to apply to our own systems of people development. Excited to see the fruit from it!

2.5/5 Stars | It was fine
This is fine! It didn't change my life or my thoughts about leadership or management in any way. Nothing in here is brand new or terribly helpful or unhelpful. Just a good reminder of generally good practices in management. This was clearly a sales tactic for their software, but good for them!

Helpful thoughts…nothing new but written In an accessible way…not too long, practical and walked away with some clear action steps for myself. I don’t think everything fits exactly like the authors outlined for every organization, but the principles apply across the board.

This book puts feet on the ground for management that I will refer back to frequently, I’m sure.
