If you are a new supervisor, a recently promoted manager, a team member who is now leading the team, or a project worker who has responsibility for managing several projects with other independents, then this book is for you. That's because this book gives you the keys to success - the 8 Essential Skills for Supervisors & Managers. The job of first-line supervisor and middle-manager (the first and second rungs on the ladder of organizational management) are the most difficult and challenging positions in any organization.
