The Fixer - Managing in the Middle Iain Johnston

"Every new manager should be given this book to read"

If you've just been promoted, or you're about to take your first steps in management, there are some things you need to know. Now that you landed the job, you need to figure out the best way to do the job; for your company, your customers, your co-workers, and yourself.

Young, fresh, enthusiastic managers often find themselves enclosed in a triangle, surrounded by the expectations of senior management, relentless customer demands, and the complexities of staff and team dynamics. Your success as a manager will be judged on your ability to handle these pressures whilst keeping your eye firmly on your own objectives. Your future career may depend on it.

"Iain Johnston has cracked the code"

In his new book The Fixer, veteran management consultant and trainer Iain Johnston disects and examines the changing world of Junior and Middle Management, and presents a structured, time-saving methodology for mastering the challenges and obstacles you face each day. Using practical rules and principles, proven ideas, and entrepreneurial lessons, this book provides a tool-kit of techniques that will enable you to:

Dramatically improve your decision making and problem-solving skills. Recognise problems as they approach, and solve them before they impact your business. Drive achievement of personal, team, and corporate goals and objectives."So many new managers start their journey without enough training"

Nobody is ever born to be a manager. We all have to be taught the fundamentals. You could learn on the job or learn by your mistakes; either way it takes years of trial and error. Or you could read this book in a weekend, and be well on the way to management excellence by Monday morning.
