"Help! I Just Got Promoted: Pitfalls of New Managers" by Reynold Roberts
The book answers the important question, "The promotion was the easy part-now what?"Every freshly promoted manager knows the thrill of stepping into leadership... and the panic that follows. In HELP! I JUST GOT PROMOTED: Pitfalls of New Managers , Reynold Roberts gets real about what happens after the congratulations fade and the responsibility hits.
This isn't your average leadership book padded with buzzwords and business jargon. It's a straight-talking, sometimes funny, always insightful guide for every newly minted manager who suddenly realizes they've been handed the wheel-with no map, no seatbelt, and a car full of passengers who expect them to know where they're going.
Drawing from decades of experience in management training and development, Roberts breaks down the most common-and most costly-mistakes new leaders make. From rushing in like a hero to failing to understand financial responsibilities, from ignoring team dynamics to imposing rules without research, this book pulls no punches. And it's not just a list of don'ts. It's a field guide full of smart, actionable strategies that readers can actually use.
You'll find step-by-step breakdowns of your first week, your first month, and the all-important probation period. You'll learn what questions to ask at the very first meeting. You'll gain insight into managing egos, anger, internal conflict, team resistance, and-yes-your own doubts. You'll even tackle the hard stuff, like budgeting, time management, and department-wide workflow.
One of the book's greatest strengths is its focus on mindset. Roberts encourages readers to shift from a title-driven mentality to one rooted in credibility and self-awareness. He teaches that respect is not automatic-it must be earned through behavior, consistency, and leadership by example. New managers are reminded that timing matters: knowing when to speak and when to listen can often define the success of a leader. Rather than falling into the trap of "I'm the boss now" thinking, Roberts urges a deeper understanding of what success truly looks like-it's not just about holding a title, but about building trust, delivering results, and navigating decisions with thought, not ego.
Roberts doesn't just coach you through the title change-he walks you through the transformation. With real-world advice and examples drawn from years of corporate training and mentorship, his voice is like a trusted friend who's seen it all... and wants to keep you from walking into the same walls.
