Pryor Learning, one of the nation’s leading training providers, has shaped the skills and careers of millions through their practical instruction that delivers results. Their new book, The First Ninety Days focuses on one essential moment of career growth: the transition from staff member to manager. Although the basic skills for succeeding in the workplace remain the same, others will be required, not only to cope with the added esponsibilities but to ensure continued career growth and personal satisfaction.

In this most informative book, Pryor discusses the major issues that confront the fledgling manager:

• Understanding your own management style

• Working with employees who have competed for the same job
• Common management mistakes
• Building teamwork
• Enhancing executive presence
• Improving communication styles
• Conquering procrastination
• Strategic problem-solving
• Developing a growth mindset.

Although these topics are important at every career level, they are particularly crucial for the new manager to master—ideally in the first ninety days on the job. All new managers will profit from learning these insights, tips, and systems for coping with the most common management problems, bringing the best out in a team, and inspiring yourself and those you manage.
