Synopsis

Congratulations! Now Get Over Yourself: Confessions of a Management Development Coach

Is your self-importance sabotaging your leadership? Tired of low morale, high turnover, and feeling like a glorified bus driver? This leadership book pulls back the curtain and reveals the truth about what it really takes to be an effective leader.

Stop micromanaging your minions (they're employees, not Minions) and learn how to:

  • Overcome the Management Paradox: You're not "God!" (though some might argue...)
  • Kick Butt with a Soft Shoe: Even ninjas wear slippers (sometimes).
  • Get Out of Your Own Way (Because seriously, it's a crowded space in there).
  • And More!

This book is written for anyone who leads, aspires to lead, or works for someone who desperately needs to learn how to lead (nicely).

Ralph Peterson, a leading management development coach, motivational speaker, and internationally syndicated columnist, will show you how to ditch the ego and become the leader your team deserves. He's also the author of the Amazon #1 Bestseller "Adventures in Dietland" and "Managing When No One Wants to Work."

Stop congratulating yourself and start leading!
