Great for a first-time or stuggling manager

Reviewed in Australia on 12 August 2021

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.

No Management Gurus Just Simple Advice

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 September 2019

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!

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.

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

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.

A Very Approachable Read to Management

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 May 2019

Verified Purchase

Though I haven't finished the title yet, I love how Julie refers to specific experiences, examples and questions throughout the text in order to build the foundation to become successful as a manager. At the moment, this feels geared mainly towards those who are about to enter their new position, however it may also be applicable to those who are looking to revamp/instil a new culture/attitude amongst their reports.
