Fixing Management: A Manager’s Guide to Moving from Ineffective to Exceptional

Do you believe people are either born leaders or not?

I did so for many years, avoiding leadership roles and limiting my career until I started researching the topic and discovered what good management could look like. I’ve discovered that it is not some mysterious intuition that a few of us have. Effective management is reproducible and teachable!

This guide delves into real-world scenarios, offering timeless, actionable insights to navigate common managerial hurdles:

• Performance management: hiring, 1:1s, feedback, development plan, firing
• Influence: communication with DiSC, conflict resolution, motivation, stakeholders
• Team culture: psychological safety, interviewing, meeting etiquette, engagement
• Goals: OKRs, metrics, quarterly plan, project management, crises
• Self-management: resume, personal brand, impostor syndrome, time management
• Navigating the organization: business acumen, team building, mentorship

Each chapter presents a relatable short scenario and analysis of the demonstrated ineffectiveness. It is followed by practical solutions and expert advice based not on personal anecdotes but on the aggregation of decades of research and experimentation conducted by leading consultants and researchers in various countries and cultures.

This advice will equip you with the tools to lead with confidence and competence. Whether you're a seasoned manager or new to the role, this book is your roadmap to effectiveness in building a thriving, high-performing team, leading to professional success and growth.

Stop relying on your manager's memory to win your next promotion. 📉

If you wait until performance review season to remember your wins, you’ve already lost.

The secret to a "Exceeds Expectations" rating isn't just working hard - it’s also the visibility, which you can simply demonstrate by journaling your actions and impact.

Managers are busy and pulled in many directions. When you hand them a "win log" of your activities and their direct business impact, you aren’t bragging - you’re helping them to help you.

Why work-journaling is crucial:

Facts over vagueness or feelings:
"I felt busy" -> "I reduced churn by 12% in Q2"
"I contributed to ops" -> "I saved 3 hours per week"

The narrative: you control the story of your growth, not your manager's foggy memory and the stakeholders'.

The "easy yes": when it’s time for promotions, your manager already has all the data to advocate for you.

Those who document their value are the ones who get rewarded for it. 🏆

Start today: spend 10 minutes every Friday (put it on your calendar) writing down:
What did I do?
What was the impact?

Your future self will thank you!
