From the rear cover
THE MOST CHALLENGING LEADERSHIP experience anyone will face isn't the one at the top but the first promotion to a leadership position. It can be overwhelming to deal with the change and uncertainty that come with a new job, requiring new skills, and the promotion from peer to leader.
If you (or someone you work with) have been promoted to a position of leadership for the first time, From Bud to Boss is an important book that offers insight from the best leadership and management thinking, and puts the focus on the challenges faced by novice leaders. In down-to-earth terms, the authors show how to adopt the mind-set of a leader and develop the skills needed to communicate change, give feedback, coach employees, lead productive teams, and achieve goals.
From Bud to Boss is filled with practical ideas and helpful advice, and offers a clear road map to leadership success. The authors suggest that you begin your new position by forming a partnership with your boss. Ask for his or her guidance on how to best handle your new position. And have your boss give you a clear under-standing of your new role and her expectations of you as a leader...get it in writing! Do the same for your new reports. Talk about your expectations of them, ask for their expectations of you, and request their help and their patience.
This much-needed book can help you get beyond the stress and fear of leading employees for the first time and put your energy into becoming the most effective leader you can be... starting right now.
