This book delves into the common leadership mistakes that hinder teams from reaching their full potential. While it may appear to outsiders that you are effectively managing your team, your employees seem disinterested and disconnected from you. They scoff at your instructions and become quiet when you enter the room. Recognizing the importance of gaining your team's support to remain on the management team, you realize that the issue lies not in what you are doing right but in what you are doing wrong.

How Not to Manage People offers valuable insights through interviews and stories of individuals who were held back by factors they were unaware of. The workplace is a complex terrain, rife with politics and unspoken rules. This book aims to teach you:

Identifying the specific mistakes you are making and understanding how to rectify them.
Exploring instances where others have encountered similar challenges and found solutions.
Recognizing behaviors that should be immediately stopped and activities that should be increased.

Instead of panicking and allowing frustration to hold you back, this book serves as a valuable tool to empower you to get your team on your side and excel in your role as a manager. By embracing its teachings, you can foster a positive and productive work environment, leading your team to achieve greatness and achieving your professional goals.
