Former Microsoft Executive and Fortune 500 CEO coach Sabina Nawaz delivers a practical guide
for managers at a time when managing is harder than ever. This book explains why top
performers inevitably turn into terrible managers when their behaviour compounded by the power
and pressure that come from climbing the corporate ladder engenders toxic work cultures and
saps everyone else's enthusiasm around them. The very traits that they believe have gotten them
to top may that be loose personal boundaries perfectionism or a bullish communication style
when at the altitude of leadership self-sabotage their efforts and that of their team. Top
Executive coach and former adviser to Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer Sabina Nawaz does not
advocate for a leadership personality transplant or a lengthy journey in self-development.
Instead she introduces simple strategies that you can implement today that rail-guard against
the common pitfalls of management. By managing pressure and collapsing distance Sabina ensures
top performers effectively manage others navigate relationships and communicate effectively in
every context.
