Manager to Leader: Skills and insights for a successful transition (eBook)
by CCH Editors
All too often people who are successful in their jobs are promoted to management without an appropriate level of support. They are often unaware of the implications of managing a team and their need to develop new skills to lead and inspire people to do their best work. Instead, many merely focus on “getting the job done”. The significant missing element is that which involves “people”. Managers typically understand the task-related aspect of the work and underestimate the importance of the human element. This is the area that really counts in leadership. It is not only new managers who must pay attention to this vital element.
This book seeks to address the widespread needs of managers in the quest for success in their leadership.

Success for New Leaders
by Abi O'Neill
Success for New Leaders is a practical and personal guide for anyone new to the art of leading people. The eBook presents a number of typical challenges experienced by managers, offering techniques, or “tips” on what works and what does not — enabling new leaders to be successful in their new role.
New leaders are encouraged to explore what is important for them personally, to learn more about themselves and others, and identify how they can work best with the people around them. Managers who are also technical specialists with people responsibilities may find this eBook useful, as will anyone who works closely with people or who simply wishes to develop more effective working relationships. The book presents a number of learning techniques, frameworks and models that leaders can draw on when implementing strategies to work successfully with others.

The eBook highlights how learning and development is, therefore, a continuous process where leaders can develop their own individual style. Leaders are encouraged to consider new ways of thinking, doing and being, and to see things from different perspectives.
