t's frustrating. You've put in the work and you've finally made it to
the management team – and you haven't stopped there. You
show up first and leave last. You're there every time one of your
employees needs something. To an outsider looking in, you're killing
this management thing.
But your employees still want nothing to do with you. They scoff
when you tell them what to do and they suddenly get quiet when you
walk into the room. You know you must get your team behind you if
you're going to stay on the management team.
Chances are it's not about what you're doing right – it's about what
you're doing wrong. How Not to Manage People is filled with
interviews and stories of people who were being held back by things
they didn't realize were working against them. The workplace is a
minefield, filled with politics and unspoken rules. This book is here to
teach you how you're screwing it up, what to do about it, and how
other people screwed it up before figuring it out. How Not to Manage
People will explain what you should stop doing immediately and what
you should be doing more of.
Now stop panicking and letting frustration hold you back. This
book is the tool you need to get your team on your side and rock the
manager title!
