      2         Forward

      A good manager is:

      Some who inspires you

      Someone like whom you aspire to be

      Marc Canabou, one of the best managers I’ve had in my career, is both.  He taught me many of the things you’ll learn in this book.

      Executives are always looking for competent, capable professionals who can lead and drive effectively in their organizations.  Remember, your best opportunities come from people you know, so make your executive your next fan and supporter.

      This book will guide you through:

      The best practices for leading and driving within your organization, if even as an individual contributor

      How email can be a problematic way to communicate, and the best ways to communicate & influence others depending on situation complexity & sensitivity

      How to clone yourself and impart these best practices to your teams

      Why the typical management pyramid should actually be inverted

      Why ideal management of directs is a two-way street, and why the best managers cultivate their teams like an attentive gardener

      3         Preamble: Working Well with Executives
