About the Book

Principles of Management

You were promoted because you were great at the work. Nobody handed you a manual for being great with people — until now.
The research is blunt: 90% of strategies die in execution. 70% of change efforts fail. And the single biggest factor in whether your team thrives or quits? You. The manager is the multiplier — for better or for worse.
Principles of Management turns the timeless wisdom of Drucker, Sloan, and Grove — and the latest findings from Gallup, McKinsey, and neuroscience — into frameworks you can use Monday morning:

C.O.M.P.A.S.S. — chart a strategy your team can actually execute
C.H.A.N.G.E. — lead people through what's next, without the resistance
C.O.A.C.H. — coach performance all year, so reviews hold zero surprises
C.A.L.M. — master your stress before it masters your team

Part field guide, part workbook — every chapter pairs stories that stick with worksheets and scorecards that turn insight into habit.
Great management isn't a personality trait. It's a learnable discipline. Learn it, practice it, and watch what your people become.
Become the multiplier.
