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. 🤷
