Inhaltsangabe

On Friday you were one of the best people on your team. On Monday you were responsible for it. Almost overnight the job changed: your success now depends on other people, and the very skills that earned you the promotion are not the ones the role requires. Most new managers are handed a title and a team with no plan, and left to figure it out through trial and error.

The Emergent Manager is that plan. It walks you through your first six months in the role, one deliberate move at a time: landing well, finding the few things that truly matter, building the relationships that carry you, earning trust quickly, and setting a direction people will actually follow.

Built around a four-phase roadmap, the book turns twenty-two core management skills into short, focused chapters you can read in a single sitting. Every chapter ends with a concrete "This Week" action and points to ready-to-use tools: more than forty checklists, worksheets, and templates that do the heavy lifting. Throughout, it shows you how to lead hybrid teams and put an AI assistant to work alongside you, guidance most management books written a decade ago simply do not have.

Inside you will find:

• A four-phase roadmap from your first day to fully in command
• 22 focused skills, each a short chapter you can read in one sitting
• More than 40 tools, checklists, and worksheets you can use immediately
• A concrete "This Week" action to close every chapter
• Straight guidance for leading hybrid teams and working alongside AI

Drawing on more than two decades advising managers and executives at Fortune 500 companies, fast-growing startups, and everything in between, Jesse Jacoby gives new and newly stretched managers the field guide he wishes every leader had: clear, practical, and built to be used, not just read.

Whether you are stepping into management for the first time, taking over a new team, or coaching someone who is, The Emergent Manager turns the hardest transition in your career into a plan you can follow.
