ABOUT THE BOOK
This book will show you how to set yourself up for success in your first leadership role
So, you’ve found yourself in charge of a team, and while on the outside you seem strong and ready for the challenge, on the inside you might realize that there are challenges you weren’t quite expecting. You may even doubt if you’re actually ready for this new role, or worse yet, you’re criticizing yourself thinking you don’t really know what you are doing. Guess what! These doubts are completely normal and my hunch is, it’s exactly why you decided to check out this book.
The difference between where you are and where you want to be is understanding the four important mental and practical shifts you will need to make in order to succeed as a leader. In my book, I’ll share these four shifts with you and give you actionable tips, plus I’ll introduce you to the APS Method™ of leadership development so you can set yourself up to quickly rise to success and become a leader people love to work with.
Filled with actionable steps and easy-to-apply frameworks, The Confident & Competent New Manager offers a no-nonsense, eye-opening roadmap that enables you to rapidly rise to success in your first leadership role.
“A MUST-HAVE FOR FIRST TIME MANAGERS AND LEADERS – An outstanding resource! Ramona has learned this all herself first-hand years ago as a new manager – and then she’s coached hundreds of first-time leaders to success. So glad she’s now put her wisdom into a book for first-time managers.”

Patrick
“Not only is this book written in an engaging and concise way, it also is full of actionable suggestions and relatable examples that created a real shift in my own leadership approach, especially in the way I communicate and in how much I jump in to solve problems for others when I should empower them instead. Definitely recommend this book!”
Silvano
“LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! It was so good, I’ve already read it twice!
This book is a MUST read for every new and experienced manager alike! Every new manager should read this to establish good leadership practices and experienced managers need to read this to polish away complacent habits that may have crept up over time. It’s never too late to learn new tips and tricks as well as unlearn the things that are ineffective in today’s workplace. I wish I had had this book back when I first became a leader because it truly highlights actionable steps to be an amazing leader of people, not just a manager over tasks.”
Brandy
