Description
Most new managers are promoted because they are great individual contributors, but that doesn’t automatically make them great leaders. The New Manager’s Playbook bridges that gap, offering a clear and practical roadmap for first-time managers learning how to lead people instead of just tasks.

- How to give feedback that’s honest, specific, and helpful
- The key to managing peers or friends after a promotion
- How to hold people accountable without becoming controlling

You’ll also explore how to manage up, navigate organizational politics, and build strong relationships across departments.
Whether you’re managing your first team or preparing for that next big step, The New Manager’s Playbook gives you a solid foundation for lasting leadership success. It’s not just about what you do, it’s about how you grow into who your team needs you to be.
