About the Summary
Despite having an impressive business education, author David Dodson learned the hard way that no one taught him the basic skills necessary to lead an organization. When he started his first company he learned on the job, slowly and expensively. He made horrendous hiring mistakes, wasted cash, misused his team’s time and lost great employees and valuable customers. Those missteps are the inspiration for The Manager’s Handbook: Five Simple Steps to Build a Team, Stay Focused, Make Better Decisions, and Crush Your Competition. Dodson knew those early experiences were not unique. There had to be a better way to prepare people for leadership. The Manager’s Handbook will show you how.
In This Summary, You Will Learn:
- How to commit to building a team.
- The impact of being a fanatical custodian of time.
- The value in seeking and taking advice.
- How to set and adhere to priorities.
