Leading a team for the first tim is a daunting endeavour. When Julie Zhuo became a new manager at the age of twenty-five, she stared at a long list of logistcs and faced a thousand questions and uncertainities. Now, having managed teams spanning tens to hundreds of people, Julie knows the most important lesson of all: great managers are made, not born. This guide is packed with everyday examples and insights that will help readers…
For anyone new to management and particularly those transitioning from peer to leader, this is a fantastic resource. Julie takes us on her journey at Facebook, from being a designer to becoming a team leader and then senior leader, and the lessons she learned along the way.
Although Julie’s story is based on a growing startup and the culture and challenges that this type of environment provides, there are lots of useful tips and advice for the types of situations that all leaders encounter when managing people. The format is concise and accessible and this is the type of book that you could dip in and out of depending on the situation you’re looking to address.
