Salwana Ali Releases A HANDBOOK FOR FIRST TIME MANAGERS

In her practical new guidebook, "A Handbook for First Time Managers: Critical Pointers That New Managers Need to Know to Succeed in Their Managerial Role" (published by Trafford Singapore), author Salwana Ali shows managers how to be more effective in their leadership roles.

According to Ali, there are four key cornerstones to any managerial role: the scope of being a manager, the function of leadership and management, interpersonal skills and the ability to implement change. Understanding and mastering these four components, Ali asserts, will equip first-time managers with the tools for what it takes to be a successful leader.

"A Handbook for First Time Managers" outlines the specifics of what Ali calls Manager's Toolkits to help develop their own personalized managerial plan. The imManager Framework is a diagnostic exercise to help readers identify which areas they need to focus on most. The accompanying imManager Guide presents a checklist of questions to help with the self-diagnostic process.

"I believe that a comprehensive, easy to read handbook complete with a diagnostic toolkit will help new managers to embrace the managerial role effectively within the first month of their appointments," Ali notes.
