Congratulations! You re now in charge. Perhaps it s your first time as a leader, or maybe you want to fine–tune your skills. Either way, you ve begun one of the most rewarding chapters of your career. But, like many beginnings, the first few years can be challenging. Fortunately, you don t have to tackle this challenge on your own. Your First Leadership Job gives you practical advice straight from others who have walked in your shoes.

In fact, a quarter–million leaders will be developed this year alone via DDI training.
Your First Leadership Job is divided into two sections. Part 1 introduces the concept of catalyst leader one who sparks energy, passion, and commitment in others. Your transition to catalyst leader is a major step in your leadership journey. This book provides essential tips to put you on the catalyst path. Ultimately, leadership is about the many conversations frequent, clear, authentic, and occasionally difficult that you will have daily. Your First Leadership Job builds awareness of the fundamental skills you ll come to rely on to make every one of these interactions successful.
Part 2 devotes 13 chapters to critical core leadership competencies, including coaching for success, hiring the best employees, turning dreaded appraisals into discussions that propel performance, and handling difficult employees. It also includes a chapter for first–time female leaders.
