In a two-hour read, it walks you through the essentials of leading and managing, and gives seasoned advice in a reader-friendly way. Learn what types of leadership there are and when to use your options effectively, how to avoid looking like a beginner, how to make meetings really work, how to manage diversity for rich results, and when to coach and when to terminate. Find out what other critical resources, processes, and practices will help ensure your success. These serial entrepreneurs will save you time and trouble as you manage the people in your new company.
