The First-Time Manager

This is a really good resource, relevant, concise and easy to understand. I wish we used this at work- it might help ease the transition into a management or supervisory position tremendously!

Lots of tricks and tips and how to become great at observing and feeling the situation.

This book offered great insight and set my expectations for my upcoming managerial post. It may be long and you may have to listen to it more than once but it definitely is a well spent time. Concepts are easy to grasp and focuses on leadership as the foundation of proper management. A must have not just for incoming managers like myself but also for experienced executives who need to refresh their management and leadership style.

The content and the narration was just awesome! Finished this book in 3 days, where others of similar length I would have taken a week or more. This is my first time as a Supervisor. Learned some much needed advices that I didn't even realize I needed. Favorite part was the last chapter.

I picked this book to prepare for a job interview in management. I didn't get the job but my interview performance lead to a promotion.

Great tips for multiple aspects of management. Information is from perspective of management within a large company but I am a manager in a 10 person law firm and the information was just as applicable to my position. Very good presentation.

If you are a new manager, get this book immediately. It presents clear, succinct, and practical advice with useful examples. I agree that many experienced managers would do well to read this book also. Excellent, just excellent.

People oriented. Rules for do and undo. Idas for effective management. Encompasses a lot of topics.

I've been in the automobile industry for just shy of 20 years. I've seen my share of Mgrs come and go, mainly the ones that think they know it all and never have the willingness to want to get or be better. First Time MGR has now become a REQUIREMENT in our stores for every manager to read/listen to, then we discuss the book. If you care about yourself or your people, invest in yourself and staff with the First Time MGR. book.

Great insight and guidelines for management. Also a good review of best practices for existing managers at all levels.
