Publisher's Synopsis
"Authority makes you a manager, how you engage with your team determines if you are a leader!" Are you called to be a manager, a leader of people? Are you where you want to be in your career? Are you seeking better connection with your team and greater fulfilment in your business goals? Every workplace needs committed and caring people managers so that businesses continue to be strong and competitive in the world's marketplace. Whether you are beginning your leadership journey or if circumstances are bringing about a "reset" in your life, this book can help you reach your full potential. Called to Manage targets a critical element of every business, the frontline people manager, and includes examples of on-the-job practical experience and lessons learned from the "school of hard knocks." It draws from over 30 years of hands-on experience and references a unique eighteenth-century handbook of Christian-based business rules written by London merchants and businessmen. The first three rules form a simple outline to help you identify your purpose, create your plan, and take action. The remaining rules show you "how" to get there, including techniques to overcome common challenges and obstacles. The Christian manager is called to serve and support their teams and organizations, and actively help direct reports succeed in their jobs and careers. There is a profound need to transform the principles and ethics of today's people-management, and this book proposes this transformation specifically from a Christian leadership point of view. Are you ready to embark upon your own transformation?
