Easy to understand

This is an easy to understand seminar. It's short and to the point. I will recommend this to other managers.

Great advice

As a new manager, I found that this book had some good information. Will definitely be listening again!

Awesome

An awesome book for new managers! Also for managers who feel that they are not making a connection with their team.

Excellent Book

Succinct and to the point. Topic is excellent! The self reflection is thought provoking.

Exactly what I was looking for!!!

I'm a new manager and like so many others I have been put in this position with very little training. This book gave me some tools that I will use to not be a sucky manager. One section that really stood out to me was where he spoke about handling non team player behavior on the job. I personally am not afraid of conflict but I do worry if I'm handling things properly. In that area this book gave me some good direction. The only bad part is that the guys voice can be sometimes hard to listen to. He slurs a little bit. 🤷

recommend for new managers

very informative, especially for new or newly promoted managers.

narrator was wonderful.

will pass on to my peers

Easy and practical

Direct to the point and simple. Great resource. Good for new managers and old ones as well.

good read

very good and insightful narrator was good kept you engaged throughly enjoyed it and learned something

short

adequate as a story goes but doesn't keep interest. narrator went monotone and story's weren't relevant in all cases

Good reminders

The narration was good. the content was common sense reminders to connect with the team and "not suck as a manager." My biggest take away would be to delegate more.
