The Supervisor's Companion: A practical guide for new (and lightly trained) supervisors

Great quick read for new supervisors. Great learning tool to use as employee development.

Anyone who supervises another should have this book in their library. It is succinct, humorous at times, and ultimately a great help to those of us who have suddenly been promoted to a position where we are responsible for others. It has already helped me with at least two work situations that were causing angst before I read this book. I hope this author continues to publish.

We are a class 1 railroad leadership training group that gives this book to all our students. It is simple, straight forward and broke into short bits that make it easy to read. Perfect book for those who are new to supervision and have never thought about what make a good leader.

She makes the read enjoyable by providing useful short stories as examples and seems to have a good sense of humor. I also like the short summaries that she gives to reinforce the section's main tips and points. Overall it is well worth the read and has actually made me excited to put some of these tips in place.

This book is a must have for any manager - new or seasoned.  It is the kind of resource you will turn to time and time again.  The author has managed to present advice by illustrating commonplace workplace situations  in an everyday, practical light.   I strongly recommend this book for all levels of supervisors and managers alike.

I used this book to teach a seminar for 30 people - each participant received a book. It was very successful and the content received rave reviews.

This is a good general knowledge book that I would recommend for new supervisors or even supervisors that have been on the job for a while.

Pretty basic and down to earth. If all our supervisors followed this book, they would be at top performance. Best book I have found on this topic for simplicity and ease of reading. It was just what our plant was looking for.
