The First-Time Manager (First-Time Manager Series) Review: A Solid Guide for New Managers with Practical, Easy-to-Use Advice - The First-Time Manager is a really helpful book for anyone stepping into leadership for the first time. It covers all the basics you wish someone would explain when you suddenly find yourself responsible for a team — things like communication, building trust, handling tough conversations, setting expectations, and learning how to guide people instead of just doing everything yourself. What I appreciated most is how straightforward the book is. The authors don’t overcomplicate things. Each chapter focuses on a real skill a new manager needs, and the examples make it easy to understand how to apply the lessons in everyday situations. It felt like having a mentor walk me through the things I should be thinking about: treating people with respect, being consistent, giving clear direction, and making space for employees to grow. The book also gave me a few “pause and think” moments — especially around how much influence a manager’s attitude and approach can have on team culture. It helped me look at my own habits and consider what kind of manager I want to be long-term. If there’s one drawback, it’s that some of the concepts will feel familiar if you’ve read other modern leadership books. And since it’s meant for beginners, it stays pretty high-level rather than diving deep into advanced techniques. Overall, though, The First-Time Manager is a solid, practical guide that gives you the confidence and foundation to lead effectively. If you’re new to managing people—or want a refresher on good leadership basics—this book is definitely worth picking up. Review: Great for first time supervisors/managers - I got one of these books back in the 90's when I first became a manager. I was very impressed with the easy read and wise counsel. So when my nephew got his promotion to a manager position with little experience in managing/supervising people I knew this book would come in handy for a first-timer! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #8,581 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #12 in Human Resources & Personnel Management (Books) #24 in Communication Skills #76 in Business Management (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (2,017) | | Dimensions | 5.45 x 0.8 x 8.35 inches | | Edition | 7th | | ISBN-10 | 1400233585 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1400233588 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of series | First-Time Manager | | Print length | 304 pages | | Publication date | October 5, 2021 | | Publisher | HarperCollins Leadership | ## Images ![The First-Time Manager (First-Time Manager Series) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71klr6WsomL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Solid Guide for New Managers with Practical, Easy-to-Use Advice *by S***M on November 23, 2025* The First-Time Manager is a really helpful book for anyone stepping into leadership for the first time.
