Based on your continued interest in learning the best supervisor practices, I’ve spent the last few weeks writing a new e-book called: How to Supervise- What Your Boss Never Told You Before You Took the Job, a step–by–step leadership ebook guide on how to best manage employees; from hiring best practices, to dealing with difficult employee situations. I also share a very simple and straight forward formula that I developed called the Employee Problem Solving Formula that helps managers think about the process of dealing with difficult employee issues from the most basic to the complicated.
Managers that don’t know where to start when tackling a difficult employee issue can often end up handling the issue inappropriately. The Employee Problem Solving Formula is a guide that will help you to approach problems in the correct way. I’ve also included a realistic difficult employee case study so that readers can understand how simple and effective the formula is.
The book is published in 3 versions: PDF for easy printing, Kindle, and Nook versions, plus a Thank You gift: an exclusive video called Supervisor Survival Tips.

“Since my fiance and I are in the process of starting our own business and we will both be supervising employees for the first time in an office setting versus just being a “team leader” or something of the sorts in everyday jobs, I was very excited to read this book. I loved how easy it was to read. There weren’t terms that I didn’t understand and it made it very simple for someone who has never worked in HR or in any type of upper level management to get some great ideas. I liked the concepts so much that I had my fiance and his best friend read it as well. I can honestly say, I’ve worked for quite a few supervisors in my life so far who would benefit greatly by reading this book!
