-Pattie Lovett-ReidFormer Chief Financial Commentator, CTV News
Clear, precise, and actionable…Modern Manager is a savvy, insightful leadership guide to effective, human-centric management.
-Foreword Clarion Reviews
In Modern Manager: Conquering the Five Frustrations of Leadership, Corina Walsh offers a timely and indispensable resource for managers at every level. The expectations of the workforce have changed dramatically, and leaders now require a broad array of skills to manage diverse, multi-generational teams, often in remote work settings. The stakes have never been higher, and Corina has captured practical, actionable strategies and tools for leading teams effectively. This book is an essential guide for the managers who will steer your organization through these disruptive yet exhilarating times.
-Jennifer Gillivan, ICD.DPresident and CEO of the IWK Foundation, recipient of Waterstone Human Capital’s 2023 Most Admired CEO award.
Finally, a book that acknowledges the demanding yet profoundly influential role of people managers, especially in the current challenging times. Corina reveals the essential skills that turn typical managerial frustrations into highly effective people management practices. In so doing, she elevates the importance of people managers and advocates for organizations to take their development seriously. The Modern Manager is not just a theoretical guide but a practical toolkit for bolstering our capacity to develop, coach, and enable the people we lead.
-Dr. Brenda Barker ScottOrganizational Design Expert and Former Faculty Member for Queen’s University IRC
Corina's book reminds us once again, our role as leaders, is to create the space for people to learn, practice and build the skills that empower teams, and to close the gap that occurs when people are not well-prepared or well-supported in their role as a leader. By understanding the 5 frustrations of leadership, and sharing valuable tools to help mitigate their impact, Corina has written a book that is both informative and practical in applying the knowledge and shaping better leaders for our future.
-Molly KurthSVP, Learning and Talent Development, Compass Group North America
This book was practical and occasionally counterintuitive. It intelligently challenged and deconstructed commonly held sacred cows of managerial wisdom. Corina Walsh strikes a great balance between explaining the new realities of managing in the post-covid era and providing practical instruction on how to ‘become the change’ managers are seeking from their teams.
-Emad RizkallaFounder and CEO Bluedrop
As a first-time CEO of a tech startup, I wanted to build a culture and team unlike the legacy corporate environments I had experienced. My goal was to create a modern company that was highly productive, fulfilling, and a joy to work at. This of course was going to require strong, modern leadership throughout the organization. In Modern Manager, Corina Walsh provides an engaging, story-filled exploration of the core principles of her leadership development programs, which have been crucial to our success in creating a high-performing, people-first culture.
-Joshua GreenCo-founder and CEO of Mysa
In the modern, technology-enabled workplace, a manager's ability to direct, delegate, develop, coach and empower their employees is more important than ever. I read Modern Managers looking for tips to support new managers on our team and young entrepreneurs managing employees for the first time. Corina's insightful illustrations, exercises, tools and reminders are a fantastic resource for beginner managers – and are just as relevant for experienced managers looking to improve. This is a great book to help managers of all tenures hone and refresh their skills to create an environment where employees excel and organizations thrive.
-Karen Greve YoungCEO, Futurpreneur
Corina nails when she writes about delegation. So many leaders, managers and small business owners have experienced delegation disappointment and fallen into the trap of thinking that in order to get things done well, they have to do it themselves. She walks you through why that is not a good idea and how to actually delegate the right things to the right people in the right way to get the exact result you want. If you struggle with getting your team to do the work as well as you, you're likely part of the problem too. You'll want to read this part of the book for sure.

  •   The disconnect between delegation and desired results.
  •   Why constructive feedback conversations go sideways.
  •   How to use coaching to create lasting improvement in performance. 
  •   Understanding what really motivates today’s generation of workers.
