A New manager’s Guide

This book saved my sanity! It gave me clear and applicable real-life examples to guide a new manager. I highly recommend it. It is now my best reference guide🙏🏽Thank You, Paul Falcone😊

Corporate Focused Lacking Small Office Scenerios

Great book but I found it to be more geared towards a corporate structure lacking family office scenarios. Though I do understand the legal liability, rarely have I found a small business to care about that, sadly. Still looking for more answers on holding your boss accountable as well. Leadership starts from the top not the other way around.

Everything I was hoping for.

Paul Falcone covers so many of the basic & advanced situations that a manager would come across and gives excellent examples of how to deal with them properly. If you're thinking of being a manager or just want to understand the points of views that managers experience this is exactly the book for that. Each situation is covered in about 5 minutes each, so I listen to one a day. The audible narrator, Adam Lofbomm, was excellent too.
