The truth their teams already know.You will read this book and recognise:-The boss who never said thank you - The team lead whose favourite always got the project - The CEO who talked about culture while burning out the workforce - The manager who avoided every hard conversation - The promotion that went to politics instead of merit - And, uncomfortably, the manager you might be becoming.Whether you are a first-time manager, a senior leader rethinking your style, an HR professional, or an employee who needs language for what you are experiencing - start here.
