As a new manager, you've got your work more than cut out for you: all new skills to learn, different personalities to deal with, and greater responsibilities to fulfill. The New Manager's Tool Kit arms you with the fast, practical advice you need to: increase productivity; unlock hidden talent in your people; work with different types of employees; communicate effectively with your reports; diagnose problems; coach good or problematic employees; turn on teamwork; avoid burnout; eliminate conflict; and, even nurture the next generation of managers! You'll learn how to understand and work with fundamental personal and interpersonal components of your job including attitude, assertiveness, and managing stress and anger. You'll also discover powerful techniques for mentoring and motivating employees, optimizing performance, and encouraging positive and productive communication. In addition, the book covers issues of special relevance to today's workplace, such as retention, diversity, rapid or unexpected change, different generations in the workforce, disabilities, harassment, workplace violence, and more.
