This book is a resource book for new managers. It provides topics, information, and questions/answers that may come up. It speaks to learning about your team members, how to build your team, and developing management skills. Some managers may think that they have to know everything. You don’t have to know everything; you just need to be able to find the reliable resources to get the answer. As a manager, your employees look up to you. Make sure that you do the right thing. This also strengthens your personal brand.

Considering the book is barely over 200 pages, it is incredible how much knowledge is packed into this incredible resource. Worst case, use it to identify the areas you really need to expand on, is it balance sheet or couching your employees - but at least you know what other things you need to know about as a new manager.

It was OK. Better suited to first-time managers, providing very basic scenarios and suggestions.
