Description
"A lifesaving guide for any new manager!" Marshall Goldsmith
As companies reorganize and reengineer, people are finding themselves tossed into management every day with little to no training or preparation. The key to success is managing effectively both up and down the line of the organisation.
Literally two books in one, Suddenly in Charge provides all of the tools necessary to be successful. Read it in one direction and you'll find all the advice and resources you need to manage down, establish credibility with your team, and lead in a way that builds rapport and garners respect. Flip the book over and you'll find success strategies for managing up, interacting successfully with your bosses and developing strong relationships.
This third edition is fully revised and updated for the post-covid world of work, with new chapters on difficult conversations, how to ask for a raise and actually get it, and weaving in advice and stories to guide readers who are working in a hybrid or remote environments.
The new edition of Suddenly in Charge is the playbook for every new leader - both at home and in the office.

*Thank you for the ARC!! All opinions are completely my own.** 4 stars. Useful and helpful book. Great basics for those in the workforce.
Frankie E, Reviewer
This is an insightful and important resource for the entire team. Naturally one would think that this guide is solely for business owners, leadership and administrators. However, it is also beneficial to employees.. This book offers strong practical advice and measurable action steps. The book is well written and the subject content is thought provoking. Content areas include different leadership styles, office politics and conflict resolution, asking for a raise, developing presence and making a lasting impression, as well as mentorship, and how to graciously exit from an organization.
Emily S, Reviewer
Absolutely packed with useful tips and learning opportunities. Whether you're new to managing or think you already know it all... This book has things to teach you! I think this could become a constant companion to refer to, flicking to sections as and when moments arise. I also love the flip side nature of it, what a clever idea! This should be a staple of all work places and shared with any colleagues and friends!

Spot on: “Managing Up is not about brown-nosing” or becoming the equivalent of Teacher’s Pet. It’s a critical leadership skill that everyone, everywhere, and at every level must master. Suddenly in Charge, is just the book to help. The third edition offers modern advice to handle classic challenges - like asking for a raise or compensating staff appropriately (in chapter 8). As Matuson points out: it’s not all about money. No matter your career stage, keep this book handy to successfully navigate myriad people management situations – up, down, and all around.
