Also, in a time when so many people change jobs frequently, I want to create a space where my team feels valued and wants to stay.

This book has helped me lay the foundation to do just that. It gave me powerful insights and helped me reflect on past mistakes — ones I’m determined not to repeat.

Helped Me Become a Better Manager

This book gave me a fresh and simple way to understand what being a good manager really means. It covered topics like delegating, trust, and team ownership in a way that felt clear and doable. I appreciated that it didn’t use too much business jargon.

There was a section early on about how micromanaging blocks team growth. That hit home for me. Just last month, I realized I wasn’t letting my team own their projects fully. After applying what I learned, I stepped back more, and surprisingly, my team actually worked better without me hovering. It felt like a big shift.

Skillsets That Work!

I’ve read my fair share of leadership books. Honestly, most are too vague to be useful. But this one stood out. It gave me clear strategies I could apply right away. I especially found the delegation and conflict resolution insightful. The section on trust-building and creating a change-ready team is helpful too. It’s very well-organized. Perfect audiobook for anyone in a leadership role.
