{"product_id":"9780753552896","title":"The Making of a Manager","description":"\u003cp\u003eFacebook VP Julie Zhuo remembers the moment when she was asked to lead a team. She felt like she'd won the golden ticket, until reality came crashing in. She was just 25 and had barely any experience being managed, let alone managing others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHer co-workers became her employees overnight, and she faced a series of anxiety- inducing firsts, including agonising over whether to hire an interviewee; seeking the respect of reports who were cleverer than her; and having to fire someone she liked. Like most first-time managers, she wasn't given any formal training, and had no resources to turn to for help. It took her years to find her way, but now she's offering you the short-cut to success.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the book she wishes she had on day one. Here, she offers practical, accessible advice like:\u003cbr\u003e· Don't hide thorny problems from your own manager; you're better off seeking help\u003cbr\u003e· Before you fire someone for failure to collaborate, figure out if the problem is temperamental or just a lack of training or coaching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Julie+Zhuo\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eJulie Zhuo\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Julie Zhuo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47376997023907,"sku":"9780753552896","price":440.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9780753552896_2d41ff2d-dea7-4f50-bf89-926e47e47bba.jpg?v=1776495736","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9780753552896","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
