Samenvatting:

A practical, real-world guide that helps managers lead with confidence using a proven 3-step framework—Pause, Consider, Act—to navigate challenges, build strong teams, and avoid burnout.

Most managers are promoted because they excel at their jobs—but the moment they step into a new leadership role, they’re expected to know how to motivate teams, navigate tough conversations, and drive results with little to no guidance. Manager Method fills this gap, and provides managers at any level with practical, real-world strategies to help them lead with clarity, confidence, and impact—without burning out.

Built on Ashley Herd’s proven 3-step framework—Pause, Consider, Act—this book simplifies leadership into an actionable process that helps managers make better decisions, set expectations, and build high-performing teams. Unlike theory-heavy leadership books, Manager Method is designed for busy professionals who need answers now and delivers the step-by-step techniques to make that happen now.

With a background as a former Chief People Officer and General Counsel—with experience supporting leaders across organizations including McKinsey—Ashley has trained over 250,000 managers throughout her career. The Manager Method delivers these tools directly to readers to help them lead effectively, build trust, and grow their careers without sacrificing their well-being.
