COMPASSION And COMMAND: How New Managers Master People, Problems, and Performance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781962729062)

In COMPASSION And COMMAND, Bill Ault hands you the playbook to find the balance that works.

If you're a new manager or even a seasoned one still figuring it out, this book shows you how to build a management style that commands respect and keeps your humanity intact.

No fluff. No jargon. Just clear strategies, honest insights, and proven tools from someone who's been there: on the ground as a manager, in the trenches as a CEO, and now as a coach helping others thrive.

You'll discover how to develop your authentic management persona, manage performance, and lead a team without burning out or becoming the type of boss you hated. And whether you're naturally too nice or a bit tough, you'll learn how to lead with heart and backbone.

You'll tackle your biggest challenges with empathy and authority: confrontation, decision-making, managing problem people, and even letting folks go with confidence and care.

If your promotion came without an instruction manual, then COMPASSION And COMMAND is your real-world guide to doing the job and doing it well.
