"Practical. Relevant. Easy to grasp. I wish I had THIS book when I became a manager."
--Mack Munro, founder and CEO, Boss Builders

The Decisive Manager is an essential read for those seeking to work out complicated people issues, address problem areas, and get everyone on track to succeed.

People issues. They seemingly arise out of nowhere and just don't go away. It's critical that managers handle them right.

As a manager you need to know so many things about managing people, but you don't even know what to ask! The Decisive Manager can help. With examples of typical situations that managers encounter and advice on how to handle them, it's an easy-to-use guide for people managers--from hiring to firing and everything in between:
  • Find and Hire the Best Talent: recruiting, interviewing, job posting, job offers, onboarding, and more
  • Create a Positive Employee Experience: employee engagement, retention, and employee motivation
  • Pay and Reward Employees: compensation transparency, employee wellness and mental health, and rewards and recognition
  • Help Employees Grow and Develop: creating a learning culture, strategies for doing so, and the manager's role in employee development
  • Understand Policies and Practices: the role of policies, applying them to specific situations, harassment, and office romance
  • Ensuring Graceful Endings: layoffs, terminations for cause, exit interviews, and more


The important issues surrounding remote and hybrid work are also addressed, including how to best support your staff, onboard from afar, and keep accountability yet flexibility for all.

Concerned about navigating the changing workplace and avoiding legal pitfalls? There are questions and essential answers about these issues, too. Managing people correctly is critical to every manager's success. The Decisive Manager will help with those unexpected challenges that arise too often. This is an essential read for all who lead.
