My first time in charge: Stop worrying ? Start performing Practical Guide for New Managers

The book is divided into two main areas: rational and emotional. I believe that a good manager must first of all master the rational part, but to become an excellent and complete manager, he or she cannot forget the emotional part of the job. Blending the rational and emotional parts will be a recipe for success and fulfillment. The book is a practical guide with intent to offer pragmatic tools and frameworks to new managers. It is the book I wished to have when I started my journey as a manager with business responsibilities. I wrote it based on my real life management experience. I took notes for about four years of the lessons I learned during my first field assignment. I struggled, but finally I have been successful. I wished during my beginnings to have a mentor to coach me and help me to speed up my learning curve. I wish this book can be the practical guide to help others reducing the stress and worries that inevitably happen when taking on a managerial role for the first time. I also wish to help new managers to deliver better and faster high performances.

I am a business manager and passionate about management. I am a goal driven manager believing in managing by metrics and high performing teams. Currently working as Head of Japan for Kering Eyewear, based in Tokyo. From 2013 to 2017 Country Manager Luxottica for Thailand and then Indonesia. Background in Business Controlling and Business Planning. Master in Strategy and graduated in Business Administration. I spent from high school to master degree to study passionately about business and management. I have been extremely lucky to do the work I studied for. In my job, I can experiment everyday what managers can do to make their teams and organizations better and better. In 2013 I was assigned to a start up for Luxottica in Thailand. I had huge cultural and job issues when becoming first time Country Manager. However I found my own way to success. I wish to share my experience and lessons learned to those that are and will be in similar situations. I would like to help other new managers to avoid mistakes, as much as possible, and give some practical suggestions on what to do when becoming manager. https: //www.linkedin.com/in/daniele-matteucci-24828a13a/
