A photo story about a young girl who takes the ultimate revenge on her friends.

The transition from star performer to skillful manager can be trying for many-even traumatic. The abilities that led to success as a salesperson, for example, are very different from those needed to manage a sales force. New managers must learn how to lead others rather than do the work themselves, to win trust & respect, to motivate, & to strike the right balance between delegation & control. It is a transition many new managers fail to make. In Becoming a Manager, Linda Hill traces the experiences of nineteen new managers over the course of their first year in a managerial capacity. She reveals the complexity of the transition & analyzes the expectations of the managers, their subordinates, & their superiors. The new managers describe how they reframed their understanding of their roles & responsibilities, how they learned to build effective work relationships, how they learned to cope with the inevitable stresses of the transformation. Above all, they describe what it was like to take on a new identity.

Teacher Education, the Radical Left and Policy Proposals Hill makes a series of challenging proposals for a Labour Governement to enact.

He promotes the concept of the teacher as a critical reflective practitioner.
