1. Introduction: Why do you need to improve your managerial style?

I know a lot of managers who are overloaded with work. The work week isn’t long enough for them. They work such long hours that they don’t have time for their personal life and family. They deal with a lot of operational tasks and don’t have time and capacity to think about strategic ones.

Do you have great visions in your mind but have no time to think about them and realize them, because you have to deal with too many operational issues? Are your people engaged and work independently to achieve the best results? While you are building your company, are you already thinking of the day when it will not be dependent on your presence? Do you want to have a successful company and motivated and competent employees who are happy at work and you can rely on them?

My aims in this book are to guide you on how to build and lead your team so you can loosen your grip on operational tasks and have enough time to think and create your strategy, and mainly, so you create a better balance between work and personal life. This book is for people who want to know how to manage and lead their people, so the company accomplishes the best results without being addicted to your presence. But so your people will be motivated over the long term and work independently and achieve the goals and visions of the company. They will be engaged and your team more productive.

I have 10 years’ experience of managing people. I’ve been leading a team of approximately 40 people for the last six years. I’ve had wonderful mentors, coaches and trainers who have taught me and helped me throughout the years. I’d like to share what I’ve learned and what makes me a successful manager.

One of the most important reasons my company is so successful is the quality of the team I have put together. They are reliable, competent, and self-motivated.

I call myself a happy manager for several reasons:

I can rely on my team,

I trust everybody in it,

I trust their decisions.

We achieve our business goals, which makes me happy and proud, not to mention pleases the company’s owners, who are happy when the company is performing well. :) At the same time, I have time for new projects, for preparing strategy for the next period, taking holidays whenever I need to, having time for myself, because I am not addicted to work, and my people are not dependent on me. And all this time without connection to work email or telephone.

The book will give you answers that will help you to be successful in your managerial role. These solutions will help you to be a happy manager, meaning you will have a successful team that will achieve goals no matter whether you are in the office or not. They will work with the same effectiveness and effort. You will be able to rely on them and let them decide because you know that they will make the right decisions, even when you’re
