by Irvin R. Katz (Author)

You’re a skilled professional who never planned to manage people. Now you’re responsible for other experts who value autonomy and resist micromanagement.

Rules for Reluctant Managers offers an approach to leadership grounded in service, influence, and respect rather than authority and control. Drawing from years of leading scientists and engineers, Dr. Irvin R. Katz distills twenty rules organized around the core challenges reluctant managers face: responding to crises, persuading colleagues, building trust, and handling day-to-day decisions. If you’re a technical professional thrust into management, these rules will help you move from uncertainty to confidence.
