Susan Stamm interviewed Nick McCormick on May 30, 2008. His new book, Lead Well and Prosper: 15 Successful Strategies for Becoming a Good Manager, is a straightforward guide for managers at all levels. “I wrote the book somewhat out of frustration,” says McCormick, who has many years’ experience as a manager in the IT industry. “I’ve witnessed incredibly poor management throughout my career, and I’ve seen the negative impact this can have on people and companies. I wanted to help those who recognize the need to improve.”
