Overview

In one modest-sized volume, this book offers three valuable sets of knowledge. First, it provides best practice guidance on virtually every large-scale task a modern manager may be involved in—from recruiting and hiring to onboarding and leading teams, and from employee engagement and retention to performance management and working with difficult employees. Second, it explains the essential concepts and practice of a range of effective leadership styles—including (but not limited to) servant leadership, crisis leadership, change agent leadership, and diversity and inclusion leadership. Third, it offers brief case studies from select CISOs and CSOs on how these management and leadership principles and practices play out in real-life workplace situations. The best practice essentials provided throughout this volume will empower aspiring leaders and also enable experienced managers to take their leadership to the next level. Many if not most CISOs and other leaders have had very little, if any, formal training in management and leadership. The select few that have such training usually obtained it through academic courses that take a theoretical, broad brush approach. In contrast, this book provides much actionable guidance in the nitty-gritty tasks that managers must do every day. Lack of management practical knowledge puts CISOs and CSOs at a disadvantage vis-a-vis other executives in the C-suite. They risk being pigeonholed as “security cops” rather than respected business leaders. Many articles on these subjects published in the press are too incomplete and filled with bad information. And combing through the few high-quality sources that are out there, such as Harvard Business Publishing, can take hundreds of dollars in magazine subscription and book purchase fees and weeks or months of reading time. This book puts all the essential information into your hands through a series of concise chapters authored by an award-winning writer.

Tarallo skillfully guides readers through best management practices that can help enhance employee job satisfaction.” “This comprehensive guide offers readers invaluable insight into security management, making it a must-have for any CISO/CSO looking to stay ahead of the curve in today’s fast-paced industry. With it, you’ll have the essential information and advice to exceed expectations.” --Brilliance Security magazine “I can't imagine a better broad-based book out there for a manager facing the challenges of the modern business environment, i.e. young workforce, COVID, globalization, adapting to the chaos of a tech-incursion on every level of an organization, etc.” “Very informative, a joy to read and comprehensively applicable to the contemporary professional. The chapters are beautifully sequenced to speak to professionals of all levels on how they can do both the big and little things to be better in the workplace.” --Phil Schaaf, author of Sports Marketing and Sports Inc:100 Years of Sports Business “This most welcome book… covers pure management, if you like, from bringing in a new employee (onboarding) to keeping employees engaged, to coaching them (and yourself), motivating people, managing change, and using your emotional intelligence; and managing difficult employees.” “Although, any number of books on being a manager are around; what sets this apart for the security person is the chapter on ‘crisis leadership’. Tarallo points to a difference between crisis management (focused on the immediate effort to respond and recover from the crisis) and crisis leadership (all of that, plus a focus on the state of your organisation, before, during and after the crisis).” --Professional Security magazine (UK) “With a focus on practical advice, Tarallo gives the reader a playbook they can use to navigate their journey…and consistently perform at the highest level as a manager—and fulfill their potential as a leader—as they move forward. No leader can go at it alone, and this is a book they can use to help them along the way.” --Ben Rothke, author of Computer Security: 20 Things Every Employee Should Know “If you work or plan to work in the management area of cybersecurity, or really in any IT management role, this book is worth having on your bookshelf.” --WServerNews “Even interesting for someone not interested in management.” --Mensa Bulletin"
