Nobody teaches you how to be a manager.

One day you're an individual contributor. The next, you're responsible for other people's careers, their stress levels, their output. And nobody gave you a manual.

This book isn't theory. It's a conversation with someone who's been managing people since 2002 — who made the mistakes, learned from them, and distilled it all into something you can actually use starting tomorrow morning.

Written by Lior Frenkel

Since 2002, I've managed hundreds of people across multiple companies and industries. When I became a manager for the first time, I looked for a book that would actually help me — and couldn't find one I trusted.

So I wrote it myself. With honest stories, practical tools, and no corporate BS.
