• Select your new boss – if you happen to be changing roles or organizations
• Manage the performance of your team including setting and maintaining standards, coaching, motivating and appraising performance

“Nothing is more practical than a good theory,” Kurt Lewin’s Quote sums up this book and Bob’s ability to address the realities of managing people in changing environments. In each chapter he demonstrated a rare gift of being able to translate conceptual frameworks into practical processes and actions which managers can build into their daily work routines. The rich array of case studies, many drawn from Bob’s own experience as a line manager, add colour and weight to this comprehensive ‘must read’ user’s guide for new and not so new managers.
- Humphrey Armstrong, Organisational Psychologist, Lifelong Learning Systems, Sydney, Australia

The messages in this best selling book have shown thousands of managers, particularly new managers, a better way of managing. Find out for yourself.


About Author(s)

Bob Selden is a student of behaviour. He believes that the words and language we use not only impact our relationships with others, but also the way in which we behave. What To Do When You Become The Boss enables Bob to illustrate how a concept can help managers improve both their effectiveness and relationships with critical stakeholders. It also provides the opportunity for Bob to pass on many of the management models, theories and practical tips that he has picked up over a long and varied management career.

Bob Selden survived his first new manager’s role in banking to eventually develop into a senior manager responsible for the career development of hundreds of other managers. During this growing process, and later as an organizational development consultant, trainer and coach, he learnt what works and what doesn’t work when managing others. What To Do When You Become The Boss is the result of his learning which he is determined to pass on to help other new managers during their initial growth spurt.
