Reseña del libro "Yay! I'm a Supervisor!: Now What!? (en Inglés)"
I remember the first day I was a supervisor. I had been friends with the people I was now going to supervise. That moment that I crossed the threshold from coworker to supervisor, the view my friends had of me changed. It wasn't that I changed. I hadn't even had the chance to change. It was that they began to see me differently, as a threat, or an outsider. That was the moment I vowed that I would learn all I could about managing and leading others. The book is the culmination of my experiences in coaching supervisors, managers, and leaders since 1994. I have taken the things that work and get results and distilled them into a book that is easy to understand, easy to read, and readily applicable in any industry. In this book, you learn the 12 core skills of a great leader, the difference between leading and managing, and how to continue to enhance your leadership journey.
