How to effortlessly gain the respect and trust of your team without having to ask for it.
Do you feel like an imposter in your first role as a manager?
Or are you looking for ways to level up your leadership skills?
Want to know the specific qualities that transform good bosses into great ones?
If you’re a manager who struggles with inspiring and motivating your team, you’re not alone.
A survey conducted by Harris Poll showed that 69% of managers are uncomfortable communicating with team members.
And with more companies switching to remote work environments, 65% of managers find it increasingly difficult to do their jobs effectively, according to research from 15Five.
That’s because managing people is often easier said than done.
Unlike other "hard skills" you can study in school, there’s no single formula for being an effective leader.
There’s no technical manual to tell you how to resolve workplace conflicts...
Or what you should say to an employee when they make a mistake...
Or how best to mediate the clashing personalities on your team.
And on top of all the interpersonal challenges of being a leader... you still need to make sure your team is achieving your business goals.
Whether you’re a first-time manager or an experienced leader, the day-to-day struggles of leading a team can be enough to scare you away from ever wanting to set foot in a leadership role again.
But there’s still hope.
Because with this simple leadership framework, you can adopt the same qualities and approaches that great leaders like Oprah and Winston Churchill used to bring about positive change.
Then, you can find your path toward inspiring the people around you.
In this book, you’ll discover:
● The nine leadership principles that will help transform you into a Great Boss
● How to set effective goals - make sure you include these five criteria
● Why leading from behind can sometimes be more effective than leading from the front
● How creating this type of workplace environment led to the invention of the Post-It Note
● What it means to be a "rebel leader" and how to figure out the right time to break the rules
● The four types of workplace conflicts and five techniques for developing resolutions
● How showing "weakness" as a leader can earn you more respect from your peers
● Why you don’t need charisma to be a great boss
● How to build your confidence as a leader, even if you’ve never managed a team before
And much more!
The truth is, being a great leader doesn’t mean you need to have a fancy job title.
You don’t have to be overly assertive, and you don’t need to rule with an "iron fist."
Following the simple framework in this book, you can quickly go from putting out fires at work to building a collaborative and cooperative team...
