TODAY'S MANAGERS ARE TOMORROW'S LEADERS Set the stage for success with the Developing First Time Managers Collection (3rd Edition) What would you do? One of your recently-hired junior managers is consistently under-performing. Now he's working on a presentation to management that has your name on it. Is it time to supervise him more closely—or to give him room to make his own decisions? Developing new management talent is a critical skill—invaluable for the newcomers, critical to the organization, and essential to your own career advancement.

The Set-Up-to-Fail Syndrome: How Good Managers Cause Great People to Fail (Paperback)—Based on ten years of studying boss-subordinate relationships, respected researchers Jean-Francois Manzoni and Jean-Louis Barsoux show how supervisors can hurt the performance of their underperforming direct reports through micromanagement and excessive control, taking a heavy toll on productivity, morale and, ultimately, organizational results. Through hundreds of interviews with bosses and perceived underperformers, the authors expose the mental biases on both sides that fuel this dynamic—and how it can be interrupted or prevented altogether. Being The Boss: The 3 Imperatives for Becoming a Great Leader (Hardcover) —You never dreamed being the boss would be this challenging. You're caught in a web of conflicting expectations from subordinates, your supervisors, peers, and customers. You're not alone. Authors Linda Hill and Kent Lineback reveal, becoming an effective manager is a painful, difficult journey. Many managers never complete the journey. At best, they just learn to get by. At worst, they become terrible bosses. This book explains how to avoid that fate. Rescue Your Rookie Managers (HBR Collection)—Many of us promote rising stars into management before they're ready—because they excelled as individual performers and we fear losing them to competitors. But then we abandon them, expecting them to master the art of management on their own. This HBR collection offers alternatives to the promote-and-abandon plan, with direction for helping rookie managers gain more experience and develop their persuasion and influencing skills.
