Master the First Year: Lead with Confidence and a Giving Mindset

In The Giving Game, thought leader, executive coach, and CEO James Turk, provides an essential guide for new managers navigating the transition from team member to team leader. Focusing on the critical first year, with an emphasis on the first 45 days. The Giving Game offers practical, easily implemented strategies to set new managers on the path to lasting success.

Recognizing the first 45 days and the first year as critical for new managers, he provides a playbook called F45, outlining exactly what to do in the first six weeks.
