Summary
Say Thank You for Everything is a bullshit-free guide to management that shows you the right way to lead a business, inspired by Jim Edwards’ experience of helping to transform a small unread blog into a business with 350 million readers, hundreds of employees, and which finally sold for $400 million.
Based on a legendary internal email that distilled 19 things a new manager might find helpful, Say Thank You for Everything will show you:
- The "whales and fails" method of decision-making that systematically improves your team’s results
- The incredible power of being slightly better than average
- Why good hiring is 80 percent of everything
- How to increase productivity and reduce burnout at the same time
- Why your teams should never be bigger than five people
- The importance of taking your enemies to lunch
- The surprising places great ideas actually come from
- The dark arts of successful management
- And much, much more
You might be a brand-new boss unsure where to start or a struggling supervisor thinking of throwing it in, or perhaps someone who just doesn’t want to lose their humanity on the way to the executive suite. Say Thank You for Everything will help you look after your people, get results for your business, and be the kind of boss you always wanted to have yourself.

Entertaining read, Good Advice for New managers
Say Thank You for Everything is an entertaining book on how to be more effective as a manager.
It appealed to me because it is written by a senior manager at a major news organization.
News organizations are notorious for having fast-paced environments with lots of burnout and high staff turnover. So I was curious to learn how I could be more effective in a hectic environment.
The book contains plenty of tips on how managers and employees can be more effective in their jobs.
Here's what I learned:
- What to say to team members when you've been asked to lead the team.
- How to ensure the message is not lost as the team grows in size.
- Why asking team members to talk about their successes (and failures) in staff meetings will boost performance over time.
- How to recruit talented candidates from minority backgrounds.
- The importance of managing up and sharing your achievements with your boss (with data).
- How to deal with difficult colleagues and conflicts at work.
- The different types of errors a manager can make when he's making a decision.
To sum up, this is a well-researched book that contains lots of practical ideas that you can test quickly. It is also fun to read.
