Storytelling has always been the preferred manner in which humans learn. "Management Mistakes" is the story of a new manager and his difficult and bumpy road to success. The reader will learn about the most common, most devastating, and most impactful mistakes that new managers make. By reading this book, a new manager will become aware of the potential mistakes that effect his/her career and this will allow that new manager to avoids those mistakes.

For new managers, the first experience can be overwhelming. For the employees of that new manager, the experience can be horrible, uninspiring, and demoralizing. Too often a new manager, just like a new teacher, is placed in the position with little support, guidance, or advice. HELP ME I''M LOST offers practical advice using the author''s actual experience in helping to guide the new manager. Learning from the mistakes of someone else can make that first assignment easier, more enjoyable, successful, and the building block for the future.

Don Wood''s rip-roaring adventure keeps readers hooked and turning the pages in this cinematic graphic novel that garnered outstanding critical acclaim.
