Relationship Leadership

Eddie McManus built this guide for the person who just got promoted and has no idea what to do next — specifically the 20-to-40-year-old new manager who learns better through story than through theory. The fictional Woo-Woo factory setting puts two contrasting leadership styles side by side in a way that makes the principles stick. McManus draws on a law enforcement background and years of study, and the result is visual, witty, and aware of today's diverse workforces. The caveats are real: it's self-published with limited independent review, and the fictional framing may feel too simplified for anyone who has already led teams for a decade. But for a brand-new manager who needs a readable, practical starting point, this fills a genuine gap. Worth It.
