Now, having managed dozens of teams spanning tens to hundreds of people, Julie knows the most important lesson of all: great managers are made, not born.

This was definitely the management book I was looking for! It was so detailed, had so much information but in a readable and not overwhelming manner. She does talk about Facebook a lot and I hate Facebook, but that‘s where she works, so it was understandable. I definitely recommend this book for new or experienced managers.

I don‘t remember if someone recommended this on Litsy or if I found it on GoodReads.

#DoubleSpin - Nonfiction book

Most useful management book I‘ve read yet. So often I feel like nothing in these will work in my job (in a busy newsroom) but actually this has a fair few things that I will try and implement but also a lot of encouraging stuff about mindset. I liked.

I‘m not a big reader of books to help me in my job, but recently I‘ve been feeling a big insecure about my management skills. I blame my autumn (fall!) in America where everyone is so... together. Anyway, this popped up in an email from NetGalley at just the right tome. I‘ll keep you all posted.

saguarosally Together in America? I‘m curious. That‘s not my thought on America, but then again I‘ve been here a lifetime. 6y
Verity @saguarosally together as in put together and hyper competent rather than everyone getting along. 6y
saguarosally @Verity That‘s something that depends on where you are at in America. Valuing skill is common in America but not universal. 6y
Verity @saguarosally I was in Washington DC... 6y
Andrea313 Glad to know about this title, as someone who has been feeling the same way lately! 6y
