      About the Authors

      Chapter 1. Establish Your Style

      As a new manager, your leadership style defines the tone and culture within your team and is the foundation for your future success or failure. Before even ordering business cards and meeting your team (Chapter 2), you must decide what kind of leader you want to be.

      Arm yourself with what works and understand what doesn’t by reflecting on your own experience. Ask yourself these questions:

      • Who did I really like working for and why?

      • Who did I hate working for and why?

      Incorporate what you loved and avoid what you hated. No matter what your basic core personality is, you must devise a management style that motivates others and inspires enthusiasm about your success and the success of the team.

      How do you do that?

      Create the right first impression. If people meet you for the first time and walk away thinking you’re a pompous, arrogant bore, your job will be much harder. There is some truth to the adage that first impressions last forever.
