This review is from: The New Supervisor: Stepping up with Confidence (A Crisp Fifty-Minute Book) (Paperback)

This book is well laid out with basic statement on how to function in the new supervisory position and some practical examples of situations you may find yourself addressing. There are questions to help you notice areas that you may have just scanned over. It may take only 55 minutes to read, however it will take some time to naturedly gain the skill sets.

I found several sections valuable in this shop. Especially the section on "supervising People Who Used to Be Peers." This constantly happens here.
