About this title

Synopsis

People have the capacity to create amazing results together. All teams have a potential for success; whether it is the board of directors, a management team heading up a business unit, a project team, or any work group across the organisation. Unfortunately, it is rare that a team delivers the results that you hoped for. Sometimes, the team leader needs support.I wish I had a book like this when I started as a leader. I fumbled and stumbled and made it up as I went along. I did a lot of mistakes. I still do, but I thought: “Is it possible to collect some of my own experiences into a book that will be useful for a first time leader?”I have written with several versions of you, the leader, in mind:You have just been asked by your boss to take on this new leader role and you go: “Wow - how can I possibly survive as a leader?”orYou have just stepped into your first leadership role without much training or guidance and it’s a pretty scary place to be.orYou have been doing OK for a while and you just know that there might be some tips and tricks that will make your days easier.
