For once here’s something a little different that caught our eye. More than just the usual dry text, the essential toolkit to Be(Come) An Awesome Manager is a practical workbook with modules on every aspect of management inviting the reader to reflect on managerial capabilities, how to evaluate them, and build the ones needed to create value for customers, employees and the organization.
