Summary of Jaime Roca & Sari Wilde's The Connector Manager

By IRB Media

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The cave rescue of the Wild Boar soccer team and their coach was a test of global collaboration, as several key actors performed as heroes. However, one actor went largely unnoticed: the governor of the Chiang Rai province, Narongsak Osottanakorn, who was responsible for coordinating the mission.

#2 The fundamental mandate of a manager is to solve a constantly growing number of complex problems and achieve extraordinary results through other people. The dynamics of the Thai cave rescue may seem exceptional when compared to your own work dynamics, but Governor Osottanakorn was fundamentally like many of us: a manager coordinating, motivating, and guiding a team.

#3 There are approximately 160 million managers in the world today. They are people who need to drive performance and get work done through others. However, most managers feel overworked, overwhelmed, and underappreciated.

#4 The downstream effect of these changes on managers is that they must take on a broader and more complex set of responsibilities. They must learn new technologies while simultaneously coaching their teams on these new skills.
