The 200-page book, published in Boston USA, and available from Amazon, has 14 chapters. "Few organizations provide new managers with the resources to help ensure their success during this period of massive change. New managers are left to 'figure it out' in the wild," writes James Potter in The Successful Manager: Practical Approaches for Building and Leading High-Performance Teams. In it, he and co-author Mike Kavanagh dissect every aspect of becoming a top-tier manager and distill it into practical tools and techniques that professionals can implement immediately.
Perfect for new and experienced managers alike, The Successful Manager provides concrete information covering a spectrum of managerial responsibilities, including how to set goals and give reviews; how to prioritize your time and delegate effectively; how to coach constructively and give feedback; how to motivate and inspire your team; how to build trust with a remote team; how to handle tough situations; and so much more.

Other key offerings include:
· A clear framework to guide you in building the fundamental competencies of an outstanding manager
· Practical examples, stories and tips from some of the world's greatest managers of teams and large organizations
· Diagnostics to foster self-reflection and to gauge your progress on your journey to becoming a top-tier manager
· Descriptions of the challenges you can expect to experience as a manager and advice on how to adopt the mindset that will help you triumph and emerge as a truly great manager
If your team succeeds, you succeed. And that is precisely your role as a manager — to build and grow an outstanding team and to elicit the best team performance possible to achieve the desired results.
