Review: A much-needed field guide for store managers and aspiring leaders to learn from and use daily. - Many smart, hardworking, well-balanced individuals assume they'd be good managers, given the chance. That's what I thought when I went from being an all-star player making the shots in the retail field to teaching teams of others to make the shots. But managing people is much harder, more stressful, and emotionally taxing than it looks. While there are many abstract articles and theoretical books on "Management," with a capital "M," few address the hands-on mechanics of managing human beings in the trenches and under pressure. Nowhere is the absence of practical management advice and guidance more observable than in retail stores. During my weekly store tours, I often feel bad for aspiring managers trying to balance the demanding directives from headquarters while also trying to train, develop, and protect their frontline team members under their command. It can sometimes feel like a thankless job, with unhappy employees and impatient bosses. But when I stumbled upon Kit Campoy's excellent book, "The Retail Leader's Field Guide: How to Run a Kick-Ass Store Where Everyone Wants to Work," I couldn't put it down. Kit is a seasoned retail leader and gifted writer who gets to the point in a profoundly simple way. Her advice is honest, vulnerable, and relatable to store managers who want to improve their troop management skills and leadership abilities. I found myself referring to her book so often that I bought a box of the books to keep in my car to hand out to all the aspiring managers I meet in retail stores and corporate environments. My review of this book is long overdue, but if you're a manager moving your way up at a store, office, or organization, do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of this easy-to-read but potent field guide to management. It's an essential book to become a much more grounded and wise leader. Review: Here’s a practical, well-written, humorous guide to running a retail store! - Although I’ve never been a store manager, I’ve been in the retail industry for over thirty years. Kit Campoy has written an enjoyable, practical, well-written and humorous guide to running a retail store. I read the book and lent it to someone who I work with that was just promoted into management. Not only did she enjoy the book, but her fifteen year old daughter picked it up, read it and enjoyed it! Kit has given the much misunderstood retail profession, and the people in it, the respect it finally deserves. The people I work with work their butts off every day! Thank you Kit for finally acknowledging this! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #608,489 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #617 in Leadership Training #5,291 in Leadership & Motivation | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 68 Reviews | ## Images ![The Retail Leader's Field Guide: How to Run a Kick-Ass Store Where Everyone Wants to Work - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7113YO9GrvL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A much-needed field guide for store managers and aspiring leaders to learn from and use daily. *by K***Y on March 3, 2025* Many smart, hardworking, well-balanced individuals assume they'd be good managers, given the chance.
