Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether you're heading up a new team or taking the reins of an existing one, leading a team for the first time can be daunting. There's no bedrock of personal experience to build on. If you're a first-time team leader then you're probably either relishing the challenge or considering running for the door-or a bit of both. Like this book, the focus is on just one leadership skill: - how to manage friends and former peers - a small but critical subset of broader leadership competencies - holding difficult conversations, coaching employees, and setting standards, just to name a few. You can successfully manage people who've been your friend or co-worker. It won't happen by chance, and it's not a matter of pulling some management "trick" out of your hat. But you can learn how to do it, and you can apply what you're about to learn right away.
