About this item
Julie's having a very bad day. She's a new manager, and her top performer has resigned to escape her, and her own manager is looking on with a skeptical eye. . . . This is the story of her turnaround. Being a first-time manager is a tough job. If you were Julie, what would you do? Wouldn't anyone, given the choice of taking on a leadership role (with a raise) , or staying put, have done the same? But no one prepared her for developing co-workers, her former peers, while producing as before and leading the team. Now she's in over her head. Author Katy Tynan understands. In her new book, How Did I Not See This Coming? A Manager's Guide to Avoiding Total Disaster, Tynan unlocks the truths about management, showing that first-time managers are basically on a journey without a map.
