This friendly guide is full of field-tested help for novice supervisors.

Moving up to a supervisory position should be cause for celebration, not exasperation. Yet many first-timers are unprepared for the demands of this new role. They quickly become overwhelmed -- to the detriment of the organization, their co-workers, and themselves.

Brief yet comprehensive, The New Supervisor's Survival Manual leads new supervisors and managers through the key tasks and responsibilities of the job. Business professionals will learn to think and act like managers as they develop critical competencies such as:



establishing and maintaining high performance standards
communicating effectively at all levels of the organization
setting clear priorities
delegating and giving feedback to others
analyzing and resolving problems

Filled with real-life examples, handy checklists, and tools for self-assessment, The New Supervisor's Survival Manual will enhance the self-confidence and comfort level of every new supervisor.
