An Introverted Manager's Little Workbook

There are many good books about management and leadership but they tend to be rather broad. They invite to lead by example, listen carefully, be fair, and so forth. Good advice, but not specific enough. For my first management job I was looking for a tool to provide me with a checklist for the first few months. Another angle that has been explored too lightly is management by individuals that are not naturally extroverted. Here I present to you what I hope will be a helpful step-by-step guide, a workbook of a sort, to a first management job, designed especially with an introverted manager in mind. If you are an introverted individual and have a solid grasp of management fundamentals, there is no reason why you cannot lead well. In fact, some might say an introverted manager is simply a cautious one, and that can be a strength in the right environment. The book will help present approaches to using the strengths associated with introspection and overcoming some of the weaknesses.
