Being an effective manager can be challenging as he or she faces difficult business goals while managing an often diverse workforce comprised of Millennials and Baby Boomers, different ethnicities, conflicting personalities and other differences. The success rates aren't encouraging. The Corporate Executive Board estimates that 60% of managers fail or underperform in their first two years. Contrary to this statistic, managers can be successful by building high performing teams. The author draws upon her experience in working with a number of managers at different companies including Hewlett-Packard. The common elements behind high performing teams are managers who lead those teams. They take intentional steps to build their teams and they achieve their business goals. She shares many of those learnings in this book.In the Successful Manager's Roadmap, the author tells the story of Jeremy, a new manager fighting to keep his company's largest customer while dealing with a dysfunctional team. He contends with issues many managers face including sub-par employee performance, poor communication, mistrust, finger pointing and unacceptable team results. Fortunately, he meets Josephine, a legendary manager who helps him develop his own leadership skills and improve the performance of his team in a short period of time. Through this fable, the reader will receive a simple framework to build a winning team including engaging employees, building commitment and delivering results. This takes the manager through the full performance cycle of his or her team, whether it's completion of a major project or a fiscal year. The reader also receives practical tools for common management tasks including giving feedback, hiring great employees and managing performance.Ultimately, this book is intended to help businesses achieve their goals through effective managers who lead their teams to success. Almost as important as the business results are the hard to measure improvements in employee and manager satisfaction in which everyone enjoys walking into work every day and joining their teammates to win.

Book excerpt: Change Management: Manage Change or It Will Manage You represents a substantial core guidance effort for Change Management practitioners. Organizations currently contend with increasingly higher levels of knowledge-driven competition. Many attempt to meet the challenge by investing in expensive knowledge-driven change management systems. Such systems are useless, and sometimes even harmful, for making strategic decisions because they do not distinguish between what is strategically relevant and what is not. This Management-for-Results Handbook focuses on identifying and managing the specific, critical knowledge assets that your organization needs to disrupt your competitors, including tacit experience of key employees, a deep understanding of customers’ needs, valuable patents and copyrights, shared industry practices, and customer- and supplier-generated innovations. The authors present two aspects of Change Management: (1) traditional Change Management as it impacts the project management team’s activities and (2) a suggested new approach to Change Management directed at changing the culture. The focus is to prepare the people impacted by the project and change activities to accept and adapt to the new/changed working conditions. The first half of the book deals with traditional Change Management, which covers the topics of remembering, understanding, and applying. The second half presents the authors’ new approach to changing the culture, which deals with analyzing, evaluating, and creating.
