    About this ebook

    You've just been promoted to a managerial position for the first time -- congratulations! But beware: the managerial role differs markedly from the individual contributor role. Go into the job with mistaken assumptions about what to expect, and you just may be blindsided by surprising realities.

    This book helps you lay the foundation for succeeding in your new role, explaining how to:

    · Discard the "doer" role of the individual contributor for the orchestrating role of the manager

    · Adjust your leadership style to maximize your team's performance

    · Balance conflicting expectations from your boss, peers, and direct reports

    · Deal productively with the stresses and new emotions that come with being a manager

    • 5/5
      I find it very helpful in trying to know the difference between my work as a surgeon and being the chairman of the board of a hospital.
      During this pandemic season, I have more time to read on my manager role, keeping me away from the OR for a while, and realizing that a manager has a broader aspect of improving my relationship with my family and friends. Thank you so very much, Dr. Hernandez, Philippines.
