Take a successful employee, promote them into management but give them no management training, and there’s a very good chance you’ll create a defensive, insecure, unsuccessful dick of a manager. Here is the management training you never got! This honest, straightforward guide reveals the things nobody talks about - knowledge that only comes from real-world experience in the management trenches.

With this address, US President James Monroe set a precedent for the nation’s foreign policy. In it, he stated that “The American continents...are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers.” Monroe established this doctrine in a time where most of Spain and Portugal’s colonies in Latin America had gained independence. From then on, the Old World and the New World would operate in separate political spheres, and any European interference in North or South America would be considered a threat against the US.

Here is the management training you never got! This honest, straightforward guide reveals the things nobody talks about - knowledge that only comes from real-world experience in the management trenches. It will change the way you look at yourself, your job, and your career, and it will enable you to be a successful leader and mentor. Most importantly, it will help you avoid becoming a jerk manager (or, if it’s too late, to reform) so you can enjoy the personal and financial rewards of being a great manager.

Monroe emphasizes his hope of doing away with the slave trade. He also deals with treaties, commerce, and the budget.

Why are there so many lousy managers? Because we don't know what's required to be a great one, so we take employees who are good at one thing and we reward them by throwing them into management, which is another thing altogether.
