Description

When Marcia Hughes is unexpectedly promoted to lead a struggling development team, she quickly discovers that technical expertise alone isn’t enough. Success—and survival—depends on something far more human: the ability to earn trust, guide diverse personalities, and build a team aligned around common goals.

Through real-world challenges, moments of doubt, and breakthrough insights, Team Leaders Toolbox brings to life the core skills every new team leader needs: clear communication, practical delegation, team alignment, conflict resolution, and sustainable delivery.

Told through a relatable business parable, this book bridges the gap between knowing what to do and knowing how to lead. It's packed with actionable frameworks and practical templates that you can apply immediately in your work.

Perfect for:
✅ First-time team leaders stepping into leadership roles
✅ Technical experts moving into people management
✅ Anyone seeking a practical, story-driven guide to building stronger teams

Leadership isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about creating the conditions for others to thrive.
Team Leaders Toolbox will show you how to step up, lead with confidence, and build a team people want to be part of.
