o, You Just Got Promoted! Helping Young Christian Managers Thrive in the Marketplace

This book offers a balanced perspective of carefully curated topics that matter most to first-time managers who are entrusted with the role of managing teams. Michael calls them People Managers as opposed to leaders or managers because to be successful in this role, new managers need to learn the art of successfully managing people. Hence this is a must-read for new managers. It is a conscious effort based on more than three decades of leadership position with a mix of successes and failures, Michael balances his views with what the bible teaches on each of those specifically selected topics.

Casting new and balanced light on these topics, he discusses and introduces key concepts on:
Your new role as People Manager after the promotion dust settles.
How to look for small wins.
Managing relationships in all directions-up, down, and sideways.
Taking care of your personal branding and development of new habits.

As a bonus, Michael has put together a 100 Days Plan and tools that new managers can use when managing their team and developing relationships.
