The Wizard Knows

Turning Soft Skills into Tangible Results

This book works perfectly as a standalone guide or alongside the toolkit for group learning.

The “learn-as-you-go” soft skills training is staggeringly expensive.  When new managers are left to figure out soft skills through trial and error, the results are predictable:

  • employee engagement plummets
  • company culture erodes
  • high turnover becomes a relentless, costly cycle

In The Wizard Knows – Help for New Managers, you’ll join a group of employees from the Make Life Better Company as they embark on a high-stakes expedition to plant the company flag at the summit of Culture Mountain.

New managers will learn how to master the “human” side of the business by exploring four critical strategies:

  1. Building a Solid Foundation – Hiring in an AI world
  2. The Transition – Crossing the Threshold – From Fellow Employee to Boss
  3. Turning Soft Skills into Tangible Results – Communication, Flexibility, Integrity, Fairness, and more.
  4. Scaling Culture Mountain – Teamwork, Recognition, Acceptance, and more.

Whether you are a first-time supervisor or a leader looking to revitalize your department, the book and toolkit give you the tools needed for your success, your team’s growth, and your company’s bottom line.

The climb starts now.  Are you ready to reach the peak?

Toolkit includes:

  • Book contents divided into four sections with discussion stimulating questions
  • Job Outlook Form
  • Turnover expense worksheet

Description

Turn Soft Skills into Tangible Results.

Turn your new managers into your most powerful engagement engine.

High Turnover… Quiet Quitting… Employee Engagement… Toxic Culture.

Sound familiar? For a new manager they can be overwhelming, particularly when the soft skills training is done on the learn-as-you-go basis.

This book is a 45-minute quick read designed to boost employee retention, elevate engagement, and transform your company culture.

When managers are left to figure out soft skills through trial and error, the results are predictable: employee engagement plummets, company culture erodes, and high turnover becomes a relentless, costly cycle. The “learn-as-you-go” soft skills training is staggeringly expensive.

In The Wizard Knows – Help for New Managers, you’ll join a group of employees from The Make Life Better Company as they embark on a high-stakes expedition to plant the flag at the summit of Culture Mountain.

  • The Goal: To teach the New Manager how to empower the team with a “can-do” attitude.
  • The Guides: HR, Wizard, Hiring Manager, and Algorithm.
  • The Cast of Characters: Status Quo, Grumpy, Underappreciated, Leaving Soon, Remote Worker, Numbers the Accountant, Change is Good, and the Boss.

The New Manager will learn how to master the “human” side of the business by exploring critical strategies for:

  • Building the Foundation: Trust, respect, and effective communication.
  • The Talent Lifecycle: Smarter hiring, seamless onboarding, and long-term retention.
  • Modern Leadership: Navigating AI, empowering remote teams, and driving change management.
  • Growth & Success: Delegating responsibility, fostering diversity, and helping employees truly thrive.

Stop managing by accident. Whether you are a first-time supervisor or a leader looking to revitalize your department, this book offers the tools to ensure your success, your team’s growth, and your company’s bottom line.

The climb to the top of Culture Mountain starts now. Are you ready to reach the peak?
