The Making Of A Manager: What To Do When Everyone Looks To You


No idea what you're doing? No problem. Good managers are made, not born.

Top tech executive Julie Zhuo remembers the moment when she was asked to lead a team. She felt like she’d won the golden ticket, until reality came crashing in. She was just 25 and had barely any experience being managed, let alone managing others.

Her co-workers became her employees overnight, and she faced a series of anxiety-inducing firsts, including agonising over whether to hire an interviewee; seeking the respect of reports who were cleverer than her; and having to fire someone she liked. Like most first-time managers, she wasn’t given any formal training, and had no resources to turn to for help. It took her years to find her way, but now she’s offering you the short-cut to success.

This is the book she wishes she had on day one. Here, she offers practical, accessible advice like:

· Don’t hide thorny problems from your own manager; you’re better off seeking help quickly and honestly
· Before you fire someone for failure to collaborate, figure out if the problem is temperamental or just a lack of training or coaching
· Don’t offer critical feedback in a ‘compliment sandwich’ – there’s a better way!

Whether you're new to the job, a veteran leader, or looking to be promoted, this is the handbook you need to be the kind of manager you've always wanted.

A British Boyfriend NHL Player
Format: Kindle
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/🌶️🌶️🌶️ You know, I read this on a whim when I saw that our hero Jack would be British, playing pro in the NHL. As it turns out, why did I suddenly forget he was British while reading this, and it was only when he reminded us that I went, oh yeah he is. As for Kendra, I just felt unsatisfied with her, I love Jack and I saw how much he loved her, but I felt Kendra didn’t give him the same love that he projected for her. The chemistry felt really one-sided on Jack’s part and I felt that, despite all the spice, he gave more than he took. How can this girl really say she was upset over bro group chats from college when they barely spoke at all, yet she remained faithful to her obviously cheating ex-boyfriend who was seen with other girls during their four years together? Girlie forgot her pride and she also has a lot of anxiety to work through. We also never get to see or hear her play, unlike Jack, and we barely catch a glimpse of it during her practices, so how can you convince me she was the best or that she deserved all these promotions? I wasn’t convinced about her talent at all, and I’ve read many sports romances where the female heroines absolutely dominate in their sport. All in all, what I am convinced of is that most of the people rating this five stars did it for Jack, the multiple spice scenes, and the abundance of romance tropes: mature hockey romance, friends to lovers, forced proximity, fake dating, he falls first and harder, hockey player x soccer player, third act conflict/breakup, misunderstanding/ miscommunication, the aggressive ex boyfriend, and unrequited love. After reading this, I’m not inclined to read the series before this one. I’ll try again in the next book, it seems to be more interesting with Sawyer and Collins.

Hockey / football (soccer) romance
Format: Kindle
I love a good sports romance. This was a sweet but hot sports romance, what I liked was both the main characters were both sports players. This is a quick read and I liked the author's writing style, I will definitely read more from her.

Definitely worth it
I initially wondered if this would be worth the money. But, I have a puppy who eats everything - including kindles. She ate the first one and I said to myself, I'll buy another and just be careful to put it out of her reach. Then she ate the second one! So, I bought a second one and added the insurance. She ate this one and, with the insurance, it was replaced with a new one. We call the 'puppy' (who is now a little over a year old) 'Jaws'. Hopefully, this third kindle won't go in her mouth. But, getting smarter, I bought a cover for it so that, if she puts her teeth on it, she'll just damage the cover.

Thankful I purchased it!
I’ve purchased several square trade warranties over the years and they have always been amazing when I’ve needed to use it. This past week I attempted to charge my Kindle after not using it for several months. When I opened it the next morning the screen just showed a battery symbol with an ! inside it. After researching and attempting to trouble shoot, I realized it was toast. Called Amazon and no issues getting the replacement scheduled. My ONLY issue is the warranty has a guaranteed 2 day replacement and mine is supposed to take almost a week. Anyhow, I highly recommend buying the warranty.
