Hello! I was recently promoted and given managerial responsibilities. HR has plans to develop training for new managers, but they don't currently have any. So, in the mean time, my boss suggested I look for a book on management. Do any of you have suggestions for books for new managers? Thank you.

Congrats on the new position! I learned to lead by being thrown into the fire. There were some stumbles in the beginning, for sure, but being persistent and listening to my team were two things that really helped me, and them, to succeed. I’m a different kind of learner, I suppose, but I found reading academic papers about managing people to be really insightful! I came across most of them while getting my MBA. It was amazing how many of the things I read lined up with my experiences as a “blank slate” leader. One thing that really stuck with me was this: People come to work already motivated. They could have a job anywhere else doing something else. They wake up every day and come into work for a reason. Find out what motivates your team members to come to work and then create an environment that allows them to reach their goals. Best of luck!--Bill Hello!

An additional tool that I love is a podcast called Ask A Manager. Allison Green is the host; she is so real and pragmatic and talks about every day situations that arise in the workplace. She has a real skill for re-framing issues and I love the perspective that she gives for managing issues in the workplace, including as a manager. Great tips, and a lot of fun to listen to! Good luck! On Thu, Jul 25, 2019 at 11:03 AM John Taylor <johntaylorconsulting@gmail.com> wrote: > So I must confess to bleeding Duke Blue.

So I must confess to bleeding Duke Blue. Working - and playing - at Duke University for 17 years will do that to you. During that time I came to know and highly respect Mike Krzyzewski. When I left Duke in 2002, Mike gave me a copy of his book, *Leading With The Heart*. It's probably more "famous" here in Durham than elsewhere, but it is worth going to your library and seeing if you can find a copy. While it does focus on lessons learned coaching Duke's basketball team, it is written in a style that has helped me - I hope - become a better and stronger leader and person. Here are the key takeaways from the book jacket: - Summon the courage to endure adversity and critics--follow through with your plans and commitments, even when everyone else is saying you can't do it. - Learn how to think on your feet--a leader has to come in with a great game plan but must know when to improvise and make adjustments. - Take responsibility for how your team performs--if you're a stickler for excellence, then winning will be a natural byproduct. - Give your players time and attention--commit to giving them 100 percent of your focus and they'll commit 100 percent of their effort.
