A practical guide aimed at new or aspiring managers who may be stepping into leadership roles without formal training or confidence. As the former VP of Product Design at Facebook, Zhuo draws on her personal experience to demystify the often ambiguous path of becoming a great manager. The book tackles real questions faced by first-time leaders: How do you give feedback? How do you build trust? How do you navigate imposter syndrome? The positioning suggests it’s not about already knowing everything—it’s about learning how to grow into the role and develop key leadership skills along the way.
The book presents itself as an approachable, comprehensive resource for anyone struggling with the uncertainty that comes with managerial responsibilities. It breaks down critical lessons about communication, decision-making, delegation, team-building, and career development in an accessible, narrative-driven style. Rather than a rigid playbook, it serves as a field guide—something you return to as challenges arise. Whether you’re managing designers, engineers, marketers, or cross-functional teams, Zhuo’s insights are tailored for real-world application, especially in modern, fast-paced work environments.
