I spent many years writing The Self Determined Manager, starting it out of frustration with how I saw managers behaving towards the people on their teams, and finishing it with a strong sense of mission to change how managers everywhere understand the true value and power of their role.

Most people in management roles want to be good at managing their people, but in my experience employees everywhere typically say only 20% of the managers they have worked for were good at being a manager. So my book, which I have written to be accessible, practical and inspiring, is your key to becoming a great manager, the manager you actually want to be, a manager who everyone wants to work for.

Becoming a Self Determined Manager might be the best thing you do for your own career and for the people who work for you. My book is your starting point.
