The leading reason employees cite for leaving their jobs is "my manager," yet many managers remain unaware of this issue and lack solutions. Traditional, militaristic management styles fail to resonate with today’s independent professionals, who possess their own ideas and prefer autonomy. Managers who micro-manage often face discontent, absenteeism, and high turnover rates, which only heightens stress for both parties. This book presents a fresh perspective for managers, emphasizing the importance of coaching and mentoring over hovering. Through engaging stories, examples, and practical activities, it guides managers—regardless of experience—on how to cultivate a supportive environment that honors employee strengths and fosters collaboration. The author, known for his bestselling motivational works, describes this book as his most innovative, addressing the challenge of maximizing employee performance without causing frustration. Its transformative insights are poised to join the ranks of management classics that redefine leadership approaches. The author has a rich background, including training and consulting for Fortune 500 companies, while the co-author is an executive overseeing significant housing developments.
