About this book
Leading From Day One: The Essential Guide for New Supervisors provides a comprehensive roadmap for professionals transitioning into their first leadership role.
Drawing from over 25 years of international human resource experience, this practical guide addresses the most common challenges new supervisors face: shifting from individual contributor to team leader, building trust, setting clear expectations, managing time effectively, and handling difficult conversations.
Each chapter combines research-backed principles with real-world examples, providing actionable strategies for immediate implementation. Readers will learn how to create psychological safety, delegate effectively, lead through change, and build a culture of continuous improvement. Unlike theoretical leadership books, this playbook offers step-by-step guidance with worksheets and reflection exercises that transform concepts into practice.
Whether you're preparing for your first supervisory role or looking to strengthen your leadership foundation, this essential resource will help you navigate the critical transition from colleague to confident, respected leader.
