Recommendation

Although this handbook is touted as a guide for managers at all levels, it really is most useful for new supervisors. Authors Brette McWhorter Sember and Terrence J. Sember cover familiar territory, but their writing is clear, concise and informative. Seasoned managers may find only a few fresh ideas for running a department or overseeing employees. But getAbstract believes the book’s fundamental approach will instruct new managers and help experienced supervisors refocus on leadership principles that they may have come to neglect over time.

Take-Aways

  • If you are a supervisor, employees will use your work habits as a model.
  • Try to create a pleasant and cordial workplace atmosphere.
  • Build a reputation as a great listener.
