Lessons in leadership: Making The Move From Manager To Leader

These Lessons Will Put You On The Path to Success!When I first earned a promotion to a leadership position, I received no training to develop my skills. The unwritten rule seemed to be that if you received the promotion you must know what you are doing, so now go do it! Sound familiar? Unfortunately, I have talked with thousands of newly promoted leaders over the years that have had the same experience. If you have been thrust into a position of leadership with little or no training, this book contains the lessons you need to jump-start your new role and get you on the path to become the leader you want to be. If you are serious about making the move from ＂manager to leader＂, or if your job is to help others make the move, this book is for you!
