One of the more important jobs of any business is that of the manager. As Jack Welch once said, “One of the jobs of a manager is to instill confidence, pump confidence into your people. And when you’ve got somebody who’s raring to go and you can smell it and feel it, give ’em that shot.” In author Daniele Matteucci’s My First Time in Charge: Stop Worrying – Start Performing Practical Guide for New Managers, the author explores the practice of management of being in charge of a business operation.
This book is a guide for new and established managers alike on how to balance the rational side of management with the emotional side of management. This practical guide is the key to pragmatic solutions with the tools and framework to establish a healthy balance between rational and emotional management styles. In this short work, the author goes through each side of management style and practices and helps the reader come to a better understanding of the job as a whole.
The author does a great job of simply and effectively showing the practices of management. From studying the rational side of management including working within the constraints of time, a process that cannot be controlled by the manager, and focus instead on shortening the time between ideas and actions, to the emotional side of management such as defining what your responsibilities and actions are in regards to the employees who work for you as the manager.
This is a book for anyone who enjoys business management, business practices and the study of management as a whole.
