Featured Reviews

This book offers practical tips on the basic or simple things you can do to be a better manager. The author is concise in their explanations and it's a quick read expounding on four key principles to being an effective manager with good examples.
My favorite section was on feedback because often we give feedback that is not as detailed enough to make an impact, or sometimes it comes off like we criticize and not encourage.
Thanks Netgalley for the eARC.
This is the kind of reference book any manager can read say on a Monday morning before a meeting, after a meeting on a Friday or while going through appraisals just to be the best.

A very useful and practical read that is very easy to pick up and implement. Usually these types of books do not offer up any practical tips, this one did which makes it very user friendly.
