Congratulations, you're a manager! After you pop the champagne, accept the shiny new title, and step into this thrilling next chapter of your career, the truth descends like a fog: you don't really know what you're doing.
That's exactly how Julie Zhuo felt when she became a rookie manager at the age of 25. She stared at a long list of logistics--from hiring to firing, from meeting to messaging, from planning to pitching--and faced a thousand questions and uncertainties. How was she supposed to spin teamwork into value? How could she be a good steward of her reports' careers? What was the secret to leading with confidence in new and unexpected situations?
The Making of a Manager is full of great, practical advice for setting a vision, delegating problems, being kind to yourself, giving feedback and other everyday responsibilities of leading a team. I think it's a great read not just for managers but also for anyone looking to improve their communication and leadership skills.
