In any job, there will come a time when you are asked to lead other people. But while people are often well-trained in the skill set of their particular profession, few people are ever taught how to lead. As such, those first steps into leadership can seem daunting--what do you actually do? What do you need to know? How do you actually lead?
Broken down into eight simple lessons, this book aims to convey the basics in a way that is clear, concise, relevant and practical. To enhance the practical nature of the text, each of the seven chapters is followed by a series of key points--designed to act as summaries as well as incitements to positive action.

· The Second Lesson: Effective planning
· The Third Lesson: Briefing
· The Fourth Lesson: Controlling
· The Fifth Lesson: Motivating
