From Bud to Boss
The transition from bud to boss is a challenging but exciting one, one that brings new responsibilities, new relationship dynamics, and new opportunities for personal and career growth. Often, new supervisors don't get the training, support, and guidance they need to be successful.

This is an (admittedly) shameless plug for this book - From Bud to Boss: Secrets to a Successful Transition to Remarkable Leadership.
