Becoming a Manager: How New Managers Master the Challenges of Leadership

Rating:
Summary: Must-read for new managers, especially former top producers!
Review: This is one of the few books that explores and discusses the reasons that new managers FEEL the way they do. It helped me through my own difficulty transition from top individual producer to manager/director of others. I recommend it often in conversation or speaking engagements and actually give it to each new manager I promote, as required reading. Lastly, I have found it most effective when read after a month or two of performing as a new manager. By: Pete Dignam, Sales Director and General Manager, ICG Communications
