In any job, there will come a time when you are asked to lead other people. But while people are often well-trained in the skill set of their particular profession, few people are ever taught how to lead. As such, those first steps into leadership can seem daunting--what do you actually do? What do you need to know? How do you actually lead? Broken down into seven simple lessons, this book aims to convey the basics in a way that is clear, concise, relevant and practical.
