What separates the greatest managers from all the rest? They actually have vastly different styles and backgrounds. Yet despite their differences, great managers share one common trait: They don't hesitate to break virtually every rule held sacred by conventional wisdom.

If you could sum up The First-Time Manager in three words, what would they be?

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.

Finished listening in reasonable time, good pointers for new and aspiring managers. Will recommend this book.
I would recommend this book to many existing managers. Some in senior positions, but all who are starting out our want to enter management.
This book hit on all topics and was extremely helpful! I don't work in an office environment, but everything was still applicable.
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.
Generally this is an interesting piece of work, however about two thirds of the way through it started to ramble on about various sets of US legislation (in fact it almost sounds like they were added to pad out a section). All acts of legislation mentioned are not valid in the UK and this really distracted from the text.
The general concepts covered are good but think they are equally, if not better, covered elsewhere.

No joke it does exactly what it says on the 'tin'. I bought this as I have been a manager for a number of years and offered to mentor a new manager. I thought I would give it a go to pick up some tips and tricks I could adjust with a dose of reality, so I had low expectation and was ready for business school blah blah. I was pleasantly surprised about its accuracy and reality. It really does tell it like it is and great practical advice. Not all companies, teams and jobs are the same but for my money this a pretty all encompassing description one could expect of what it is like and how get into the right habits
Certainly worth the money if you are about to or have just become a manager. Frankly no harm as a refresher for us old dogs either
