They Made YOU a Manager?

You got the promotion. Everyone congratulated you. Then people started looking to you for answers.Nobody gave you the manual.They Made YOU a Manager? is a straight-talking guide for new and emerging managers trying to work out what leadership actually looks like once the title becomes real.Drawing on real experiences of moving from frontline work into team leadership and operational management, Nick Johnson explores the parts of management that rarely appear in the job description: earning trust, having difficult conversations, making decisions when there is no perfect answer, leading people who think differently from you, handling failure, building confidence and learning when to step back.This isn't a book about becoming somebody else's version of a leader.It's about learning to lead as yourself.Practical, honest and grounded in real workplace situations, this book is for anyone who has ever been promoted and quietly wondered: "Why does everyone seem more confident about this than I do?"You don't need to have all the answers.You just need somewhere to start.
