—Tuca Botelho, IBM
‘Practical, concise, and empowering—this book is a foundational resource for leaders seeking a clear plan and proven strategies for success.’
—Anaf Durrani, Ford Motor Company
‘This book feels like a calm, capable mentor whispering “you’ve got this” while quietly handing you a colour-coded plan before your first week as a manager derails. It’s practical, thoughtfully structured and genuinely supportive without drowning you in buzzwords or ego.’
—Michelle Hartley, People Sorted
