"Leadership When There Is No One to Ask: An Interview with ENT's Franco Bernabe" with S. Wetlaufer (July 1998)

Product Description

Second Edition, Expanded to Include Fresh Insights and Practical Tools For New and Experienced Managers

No book has captured the trials and traumas of the transition from star performer to competent manager better than Linda Hill's classic Becoming a Manager. In tracing and analyzing the experiences of nineteen new managers, Hill reveals the profound complexity and difficulty of the process of developing into a manager. In their own distinct voices, these managers describe how they reframed their understanding of their roles and responsibilities and how they coped with the stresses and emotions of the transformation-in essence, how they were able to take on new identities. Now, in a substantially expanded second edition, the author offers concrete advice on the crucial issues of dealing effectively with organizational politics and developing and leading diverse teams in times of change, as well as on how managers can prepare themselves to lead over the course of their careers. In a new epilogue, she explores what organizations can do to help managers in their journey to lead and learn.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 7 Feb 2007
By S. Finlay (Birmingham, West Midlands United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book really shows that you can't just give formal orientation (basic management skills and knowledge, policies and procedures)that first time managers need.

You have to take first time managers through some fundamental basics - their new personal identity (the period of growth in their first 12 months and the stresses/emotions of it all) and the weight of expectations from everywhere, examining the key management competencies and finally how to understand about the art of managing people and building relationships.

This information will help them in the transition or transformation (like a caterpillar to a butterfly!).

A really great book adding a new dimension to anyone interested in (first time) management development.
