The Path of a Leader: Basic Technologies of Everyday Management

The ability to manage is a skill, not an innate talent; it can be learned, and one can become a first-class leader.

Most leaders work by intuition: they learn “on the job,” copy the behavior of previous bosses, intuitively set priorities—and for years repeat the same mistakes. As a result, chaos, crises, turnover, burnout, and a constant struggle with symptoms instead of systematic work on causes reign in organizations.

Dmitry Vitashov, an expert in improving the effectiveness of management systems, offers a clear and reproducible model of everyday work, precise algorithms of thought and action, a standard that can be implemented and scaled.

In this book, you will find not only answers to the questions “what to do,” but also order, logic, and technology to learn how to manage truly, rather than just “staying afloat.”

The book offers a holistic management model built on real stories and concrete actions. It does not require “pondering over concepts”—it offers ready-made solutions that can be implemented in any organization: from a startup to a large corporation.

The book will be useful for both novice leaders in forming correct management habits and experienced managers for systematizing knowledge and identifying “blind spots,” as well as business owners for creating unified management standards in the company and HR specialists for developing training programs and evaluating leaders.
