From engineer to corporate vice president of executive development at Microsoft, Nawaz knows the ins and outs of moving up in the corporate world. That's why she has written a guide aimed at managers to provide strategies for success. Nawaz went from feeling confident as a manager to, in her words, making her team miserable. It was a wake-up call to understand why and also to figure out why she was unaware of the conditions she was creating. Coupling this experience with data, coaching interactions, and thousands of interviews, she offers a plan to help people thrive in management roles. Nawaz identified the most common management downfalls and developed a system that helps people discover why they have fallen off track and how to correct the course. Presented in five parts, readers will understand what it means to be promoted and thrive, how to deal with "Power Gaps" and pressure, and how to maintain an upward career trajectory. Chapters highlight topics like identifying communication breakdowns and applying frameworks to lead with greater consistency. Anyone, from aspiring to seasoned managers, will appreciate Nawaz's conversational style and solid advice.
