I'm a Supervisor...Now What?: A Practical Guide to the First Year of Leadership Paperback with Workbook
Becoming a supervisor doesn’t come with a manual.
One day you’re part of the crew. The next day, you’re responsible for decisions, conversations, and outcomes that didn’t used to belong to you. The pressure changes. The relationships change. And most new supervisors are left to figure it out alone.
I’m a Supervisor… Now What? is a practical, honest guide for people navigating their first year of leadership. It doesn’t rely on buzzwords, theories, or motivational clichés. Instead, it addresses the real challenges supervisors face every day—authority, accountability, difficult conversations, stress, and the shift from doing the work to leading the work.
This book walks through:
The shock of promotion and loss of peer status
Why authority isn’t about volume or control
How to handle your first real mistake
Conversations supervisors can’t avoid
Why consistency matters more than charisma
Leading people instead of doing everything yourself
Managing pressure and carrying responsibility without burning out
Written from real-world experience, this book is for supervisors who want to lead with clarity, fairness, and steadiness—without pretending they have all the answers.
If you’re learning the role while already in it, this book is for you.
