The Cranky Middle Manager Show #193 Hit the Ground Running- Jason Jennings

Today Wayne Turmel looks at something that makes managers cranky, taking over a new team. Jason Jennings is the author of Hit the Ground Running among other books and has some words of advice. Probably don’t want to follow the advice of the Ottoman Emperors though…. bad succession planning there.

How to find us via social media…….

Some of you have asked how best to reach me…. email always works.

If you must use one of these social media thingies, you have several options. Please know i’m happy to connect, but think about how I can add value to your network. You’ll be able to follow show updates (news coming, i suspect) my Management Issues column and other work when it appears around the world.

LinkedIn is my preferred method http://www.linkedin.com/in/wayneturmel
