Recommended reading: “Managing Your Boss: Specifications”
June 29th, 2012 | General |
This book provides valuable insight and practical tips through case studies and examples based on real life experiences of middle and senior managers. While endless material (books, training workshops, seminars and studies) is churned out on leaderships skills, followership, the art of working effectively and harmoniously with superiors is underestimated. Valuable time and energy are spent (at the office water-cooler or family dinner-table) in crying, “Why can’t my boss be like me/like my ex-boss – more appreciative; more enterprising more considerate; more communicative; less rigid…” (the list is endless).
