Support the people doing the work to solve more of their problems.

Make time to think so you can be your best self.

Trust the people you lead and serve.

And, much more.

With its question and myth, each chapter offers you options to rethink how you manage yourself.

Become a modern manager.

Learn to manage yourself so you and the people you lead and serve can deliver the results everyone needs.
