Description

Former Microsoft Executive and Fortune 500 CEO coach, Sabina Nawaz, delivers a practical guide for managers, at a time when managing is harder than ever.This book explains why top performers inevitably turn into terrible managers when their behaviour, compounded by the power and pressure that come from climbing the corporate ladder, engenders toxic work cultures and saps everyone else’s enthusiasm around them. The very traits that they believe have gotten them to top, may that be loose personal boundaries, perfectionism or a bullish communication style, when at the altitude of leadership, self-sabotage their efforts and that of their team.Top Executive coach and former adviser to Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer, Sabina Nawaz, does not advocate for a leadership personality transplant, or a lengthy journey in self-development. Instead, she introduces simple strategies that you can implement today that rail-guard against the common pitfalls of management. By managing pressure and collapsing distance, Sabina ensures top performers effectively manage others, navigate relationships and communicate effectively in every context.

Review Quote

Power doesn't only corrupt leaders it renders them incompetent. It results in behaviors that areboth brutal and ineffective. No leader aspires to be brutally ineffective, but too many of them dobecome just that. How can you make sure this doesn't happen to you? It's not enough to have a good character. Nawaz offers practical strategies to make sure that you can be both good and great, rather than being corrupted by the power and pressure that come with the job.
