I received this from my new boss upon promotion, and it’s already given me tools to help in my first several months. Would recommend to anyone who feels a little overwhelmed in a new managerial position and needs somewhere to turn.

Great book. Tons of example conversations that cover all possible crises a new or experienced manager might have to deal with.

Paul is a brilliant HR mind of our time. This book is easy to read and a great reference.

This is another fantastic book from Paul Falcone. All of Paul’s books have been valuable resources for me and this latest one is no exception.

Paul did a great job taking managers through the variety of crises they encounter regularly--performance issues, difficult conversations and more! All of Paul's books always have great advice and one of the best parts are the real, example conversations he shares. It gives you tips for how to handle that next tough talk with an employee. I have supervised dozens of employees for more than 25 years, and I still always take away valuable advice from his books.

Helps you develop the mindset for management and “get it”. My eyes have been opened as a first-time manager and I’ll be on a continual journey of reading more and more book and learning more. Grateful!
