A fresh and feisty guide to getting results and respect in your early managerial roles, from VP of Product Design at Facebook, Julie Zhuo, with a following of 174k on Medium, and 123k followers on Facebook.

No idea what you're doing? No problem. Good managers are made, not born.

Top tech executive Julie Zhuo remembers the moment when she was asked to lead a team. She felt like she'd won the golden ticket, until reality came crashing in. She was just 25 and had barely any experience being managed, let alone managing others.

Her co-workers became her employees overnight, and she faced a series of anxiety-inducing firsts, including agonising over whether to hire an interviewee; seeking the respect of reports who were cleverer than her; and having to fire someone she liked. Like most first-time managers, she wasn't given any formal training, and had no resources to turn to for help. It took her years to find her way, but now she's offering you the short-cut to success.

This is the book she wishes she had on day one. Here, she offers practical, accessible advice like-

Don't hide thorny problems from your own manager; you're better off seeking help quickly and honestly
Before you fire someone for failure to collaborate, figure out if the problem is temperamental or just a lack of training or coaching
Don't offer critical feedback in a 'compliment sandwich' - there's a better way!

Whether you're new to the job, a veteran leader, or looking to be promoted, this is the handbook you need to be the kind of manager you've always wanted.

Review

I wish I'd had this book when I started managing a team at Instagram. Julie covers the full range of becoming a manager, from your first meetings with your team to accomplishing huge goals together.

― Mike Krieger, Co-Founder of Instagram

Julie Zhuo had to learn to be a manager fast, as her role kept expanding in the hyper-growth environment of a successful Silicon Valley start-up. In The Making of a Manager, she shares what she learned―often, the hard way. She combines cutting-edge analysis of how organizations work with engaging and accessible examples of how theory plays out in real life, with stories of what she did right and wrong.

― Gretchen Rubin, New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness Project

I've seen so many people thrust into management in high-growth companies with so little guidance. From now on, I will hand them this book. Its practical wisdom is immediately useful for the newly minted manager―and us old ones.

― Ev Williams, CEO of Medium and Co-founder of Twitter

Great for a first-time or stuggling manager

Reviewed in Australia on 12 August 2021

Verified Purchase

This book is very easy to read, it took about 2 days to get through. I think the author structured the book well and it just flowed very easily.
If you are a first-time manager, have only been managing a couple of years, are considering taking the step into management, or have never quite grasped how to manage others - then this is a very good book for you. (A wonderful gift for a young woman looking to level up!)
If you are an experienced manager and have good structures in place, this may be a little simple for you.

I found this book to quite helpful. Definitely not ground breaking, but great insights and helpful stories. Particularly pertinent for new managers.

No Management Gurus Just Simple Advice

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 September 2019

Verified Purchase

If you are a new manager, want to be a manager, or just want to deal with people "better" this is the book for you. Julis is no "management guru" there are no rules or laws, this is just simple, straight forward advice based on her experiences at Instagram / facebook. One of the things I like is her honesty, she does not make out she is some management superhero. We all make mistakes, right? She shares with you her mistakes and what she learned. I'm already implementing a number of her recommendations and suggestions.

Advice that now seems so obvious – bravo!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 May 2020

Verified Purchase

Not a typical business management book, in a good way. You still learn a lot but in a refreshing tone and through an easy-to-digest structure. Julie is senior management at Facebook, and there are times when it does get a little too preachy about the business, but for the most part this is interesting due to her involvement in a rapidly growing tech company and not hindered by it.

Having read cover-to-cover, this is a book I'll always be coming back to.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 June 2019

Verified Purchase

This book is full of great advice, well written, and framed by anecdotes and stories that make it effortless to read!
Despite this it actually took me a long time to finish, because I kept pausing to think and reflect on what I'd just read, how it applied to my role, past experiences, and how to apply the learning in the future.

I now have two copies of this book; one in the office that I encourage colleagues to borrow and read, and my own so I can always refer back to it.

A must read if you are already, or will be a leader or manager of people.

Easy to read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 July 2019

Verified Purchase

Highly recommend this book to the people who are new to management. The flow of the content is easy to read and follow. Unlike the other management books in the market, which depict a particular example/ scene in 3-4 pages in order to explain one big main point of the story, Julie has done a good writing to condense her points into a 3-4 line paragraph or even a half page of section. No fancy words and direct to the point. Suitable to read during a lunch break.
