Why are some leaders so much better than others at getting things done—and how can you become one of them?

In The Manager’s Handbook: Five Simple Steps to Build a Team, Stay Focused, Make Better Decisions, and Crush Your Competition, veteran entrepreneur, board member, and investor David Dodson delivers a practical and hands-on discussion of the five skills every great leader needs to drive extraordinary results: building teams, managing your time, using advisors, sticking to your priorities, and obsessing over quality.

Based on his years of research and practical experience, the author explains how to get better at running virtually any kind of organization. He does so by breaking down each critical skill into digestible, bite-sized sub-skills that you can learn quickly and easily—revealing the secrets to getting things done.

Busy leaders don’t have time to read one book about hiring, another about delegation, another on time management, and yet another on quality control. As a CEO himself, he understands that there is a powerful need for a one-stop resource with practical advice on the key components of organizational leadership. This is that resource.

Along with an illuminating Foreword written by Irv Grousbeck, co-developer of Stanford’s Center for Entrepreneurial Studies, the book offers timeless and insightful lessons that align with the most important skills organizational leaders need to run their companies. This is a book that leaders will use—and not just read— to improve their competencies in key areas that drive firm success.

An indispensable handbook for organizational management and leadership, The Manager’s Handbook will earn a place in the libraries of executives, managers, directors, founders, entrepreneurs, and other business leaders looking for tested ways to improve their ability to lead others.
