Strange isn't it. You have spent years acquiring your trade, your vocation or your profession and you're good at it. Now you're rewarded by being thrown or promoted into a leadership role for which you've had little or NO training. Seems absurd that in this day and age that we still follow such an archaic practice. This book shows how to avoid the pitfalls and traps, and instead, how to step up in the new leadership role knowing what to watch out for and what to do and how to do it.
