Take Me to Your Leader!

I finally found a great How To book on learning to be not only a manager but a leader: Marty Clarke's Leadership Land Mines. It's great because it gives clear, straightforward guidelines to help you stop acting like the employee you used to be, and instead start acting like the leader you want to be. To describe each land mine Clarke tells stories from his own experience. The stories are painfully funny in the same way the Dilbert comic strip is, because you'll recognize the situations from your own business experience. He follows up with common sense approaches for avoiding being a manager who makes those mistakes, and instead being the leader your team, and your company, needs you to be. Recommended for current managers, aspiring managers, and even for executives!

A must-read for any leader or manager

I recently finished reading Leadership Land Mines. As someone who reads a significant number of leadership books, I can state without hesitation that Leadership Land Mines is a must-read for anyone in a management position. Marty Clarke explores eight common, real-life management fiascos and provides common-sense strategies to avoid these land mines -- strategies that any leader can immediately apply.
