For instance, how many managers come into the position without learning how to delegate work and authority? How many managers haven't learned how and when to say no or yes, or how to make decisions? How many managers, whether you work with men or women, have had to deal with dress code issues? Sure, sometimes the issues you have to deal with are frivolous, yet they are important issues to the people you have to work with when they do come up. Issues of diversity, fairness, recognition, evaluation,… these issues and more are addressed directly in this book. Mitch Mitchell has written a very casual and easy to read book. It's in a very conversational style, interspersed with stories and ideals and his own unique sense of humor and insight. He has taken his background of over 20 years of being a very successful manager and educator of managers and put it down here. He wrote the book because of two very important questions: How many managers know how to lead; how many leaders know how to manage? He helps each to learn the principles of management and leadership. You will learn many more things from Embrace The Lead. There are 34 separate points in this book, some specifically answering questions and issues that have been asked and dealt with by managers, some that work to identify the reasons managers and employees do what they do, and some that managers may not have thought of, but should. You will learn why people get into management in the first place. You will learn how to identify personality types, and how to work with them. You will learn how to identify issues as they relate to harassment and diversity. And you will learn them all without feeling as though you're being preached to; matter of fact, as you read this book, you'll consistently hear yourself saying "Ah yes, I knew that". This book will constantly confirm feelings that were already deep within you, good leadership and management principles, as well as give you some new perspectives on life. Embrace The Lead isn't only for managers, though. It's for anyone who's looking for direction in their life. It's for anyone who wants to learn leadership principles, even if only to gain more control of what they do on a daily basis. It's for anyone who wants to learn how to get along with others; if you can identify the types of people you deal with, you have a better chance of knowing how to fare well with them. And it's for anyone who's looking for a little harmless entertainment, a point for controversy, and maybe something to help put them to relax. Because once you start, you won't be able to put it down until you're finished, and then you'll be very tired.
