What’s inside
I’ve created your startup plan, so you can put down the books and start focusing on your team.
We both know you care about doing an excellent job (and making a good impression!). This guide will suggest key elements that create a strong foundation, in a simple order so you always know where you want to be spending your energy.
Leadership vs management
I’ll define leadership, management and how they’re different (these are my personal definitions, created over many years of leadership, management and coaching and intended to be highly actionable and easy to remember – you won’t find them in the materials your company already shared with you!)
Where to start with a new team
I’ll share the 4 places to start when you step into a new team or into management of a team you’ve been a member of.
Foundational skills
I’ll share 7 key skills to focus on first, and ideas for how to get started with each.
Recommendations short list
I’ll share some favorite recommendations for books and podcasts that align with the focus areas and skills in the guide – not many, just the ones I think are most useful to you, right now.
