It's hard being a manager!

About the Book

Well, all things must come to an end. I can see the smile on your face if you have gotten this far. Why I see that smile without physically being next to you is because I am smiling. It is my sincere goal that you have learned something about management that has never been told to you, or it has been told to you in such a way that you did not comprehend it fully until you met me. My goal is to keep it simple, to not make the reading complicated, and to give you some management tools to use in your daily routine. This is a book you can that you can pickup and get reinforcement. Clearly, I don’t know everything about management. But, I believe if you try a few of my suggestions you will make a difference in how you manage. I am convinced that you will learn. I know that being a manager is hard. Somebody’s got to do it. Why not me! This is a very sincere statement. It could be and should be you. Don’t feel apprehensive about working in the world of management. It pays well and provides you with plenty of opportunity and growth. More importantly, it allows you to lead as a Change Agent. I’ve heard some managers refer to management (particularly front line or middle management) as a dumping ground. Every and anything that has to be done is dumped on them. They “catch hell” from Senior Leadership and they catch hell from their employees. This may be true in some cases. But, if you take the time to really internalize those topics I have brought to your attention, you can survive. Last but not least, know when it is time to move on. There are several layers of management. Each layer brings you closer and closer to your ultimate goal. Once the job has become so routine that you don’t enjoy what you do, it is time to move on. Once you know that you dislike those who you are suppose to be managing, it is time to move on.
