Becoming a Better Boss: Why Good Management Is So Difficult

AUTHOR Birkinshaw, Julian
PUBLISHER Jossey-Bass (09/09/2013)
PRODUCT TYPE eBook (Open Ebook)

Description

THIS IS NOT JUST ANOTHER BOOK ABOUT WHAT MAKES AN EFFECTIVE MANAGER.

Becoming a Better Boss highlights why well-known advice on good management is so rarely heeded. By focusing on management through the eyes of an employee, Julian Birkinshaw gives us insightful and helpful advice on what we might do differently - both as individual managers of others, and as architects of the organizations in which we work.

To achieve this, the author has spent time working "in the trenches" to remind himself what life as an employee feels like, as well as interviewing hundreds of employees and managers and undertaking surveys which have received responses in the thousands.

The resulting book is a radical new look at what makes good management which is applicable to both manager and employee. It takes managers out of their comfort zone and shows how you can do things differently. It shows how the employee can help themselves be managed more effectively and explores the limitations and pathologies of the organizations we work for.
