You can hire an employee with all the experience, education, and qualifications you could hope for, but if the person has a bad attitude, you have just hired a problem employee.” They rarely come up with the missing ingredient: attitude. “Almost without exception, managers say the most important ingredients in hiring a new employee are experience, qualifications, and education. Also, the book reinforces the importance of performance management tools by explaining the benefits from first steps with a new employee to last steps with a dismissed employee. It helps me to realize the importance of training programs for new hires and pre-allocating time for a probationary period. After reading this book, I feel that I have a greater appreciation for the structure that I have around me in my current organization. Instead of being a book that changes my perspective, it was more of a book to reinforce the learnings and teachings around me. What I found most interesting about this book is that it covers concepts and tools that are not new to me based on my training in the workplace. Throughout reading this book I was able to easily relate it to my day to day managing and think about how I could apply it. If you are seeking a book that briefly and concisely covers all the basic elements of management, I think this is a great book.
There are a lot of good thoughts, ideas, and tools scattered throughout this book which have parallels within most large corporate organizations.

The First-Time Manager is essentially a user manual for someone who is entering management (especially if you are entering management in a large corporation).
This book was recommended to me by a colleague.
