    About this audiobook

    Professional success, more often than not, means becoming a manager. Yet nobody prepared you for having to deal with messy tidbits like emotions, conflicts, and personalities-all while achieving ever-greater goals and meeting ever-looming deadlines. Not exactly what you had in mind, is it?

    Don't panic. Here are the tools to help you succeed and even thrive as a manager. Drawing on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, Zack introduces two primary management styles-thinkers and feelers-and guides you in developing a management style that fits who you really are.

    Zack takes you through a host of potentially difficult situations, showing how this new way of understanding yourself and others makes managing less of a stumble in the dark and more of a walk in the park. With enlightening examples, helpful exercises, and lifesaving tips, this audiobook the new go-to guide for all those managers looking to love their jobs again.
