About this listen

Why are there so many lousy managers? Because we don't know what's required to be a great one, so we take employees who are good at one thing and we reward them by throwing them into management, which is another thing altogether. They're almost never ready for what's coming. The result: mediocre sometimes toxic managers, a disengaged workforce, high turnover, and sub-par financial performance. It doesn't have to be this way!

This audiobook helps businesses increase customer satisfaction and productivity, keep their best employees, and improve the bottom line by hiring, promoting, and training talented managers. In this book, you'll discover: three traits all great managers share; four skills common to all great managers; simple ways to determine whether a candidate can become a great manager; essential questions to ask before promoting someone to management; how to find out if you have lousy managers in your company and what to do about it.

It's time to break the destructive cycle of hiring and promoting people who will never be good managers and instead identify and support those with the potential to be great!
