Ashley Herd (250K on Tiktok), a former Chief People Officer and General Counsel with experience supporting leaders across organizations including McKinsey and Yum! Brands has trained over 250,000 managers throughout her career. Now, she's unveiled a practical, real-world guide called The Manager Method: A Practical Framework to Lead, Support, and Get Results (February 10, 2026 // Hay House) that helps managers lead with confidence using a proven 3-step framework—Pause, Consider, Act—to navigate challenges, build strong teams, and avoid burnout. The Manager Method helps readers to lead effectively, build trust, and grow their careers without sacrificing their well-being.

The Manager Method fills this gap, and provides managers at any level with practical, real-world strategies to help them lead with clarity, confidence, and impact—without burning out.

This book simplifies leadership into an actionable process that helps managers make better decisions, set expectations, and build high-performing teams. Unlike theory-heavy leadership books, The Manager Method is designed for busy professionals who need answers now and delivers the step-by-step techniques to make that happen now.
