| Publisher Description: Too many people are promoted to management with a congratulations, a hearty handshake, and a "Good luck " The transition from individual contributor to being the person in charge is complex. All too often, organizations select folks with great technical skills and put them in charge without any orientation to what they're getting into. "What ELSE Your Boss Never Told You" is the sequel to the very popular "What Your Boss Never Told You." Packed inside are more tips, techniques, and insights about the challenging, but rewarding leadership position. Gary Winters is a seasoned manager and leadership development coach who created the popular S.T.A.R.T. (Supervisors Transition and Readiness Training) workshop to help fill the awareness void between promotion and Day One. This is a book filled with ideas that seasoned leaders have wished they'd had before their promotion. It's about the big picture and the small stuff that makes up the job. Here you will learn about discovering your X-Factor, what really motivates employees, and how to deal with Follower Fatigue. You'll see examples of how highly effective leaders talk - and how the less-effective ones do. The book covers how to navigate change, fostering loyalty, and even a technique for building your team with tee-shirts (nope - you don't buy 'em for your staff). There's dozens of communications tips as well, ranging from one called the 16 Seconds of Silence, to one that suggests you might want to get off your "but." "What ELSE Your Boss Never Told You" is written in a conversational tone, as though you and the author were enjoying a cup of coffee and talking about the issues that emerge for new leaders. It stands alone, and/or could be read before or after the first volume, "What Your Boss Never Told You." You can start with any chapter and read in any order you like. Winters has coached and facilitated workshops for thousands of supervisors and managers in over 300 organizations, large and small, in both the public and private sector. His tips are all field-tested and have withstood the test of time. |
