In this follow-up to the bestselling It`s Okay to Be the Boss, Bruce Tulgan shows that the number one factor in employee productivity, work-quality, morale and retention is the relationship between employees and their immediate managers. Unfortunately, he argues, we have been focusing so much on the skills and habits of the managers, that we have neglected the role of the employee in these relationships.
In It`s Okay to Manage Your Boss, Tulgan first explores the 10 myths about how one should be managed and how to manage up that so-called experts and books have perpetuated over the years. After exploring these myths, he help readers take responsibility for getting the following four essential things from their boss(es) in order to succeed at their job:
Clearly spelled out and reasonable expectations (that is, clear goals with specific guidelines and a concrete timetable to accomplish them).
The skills, tools, and resources necessary to accomplish those expectations, or else the acknowledgement that you are being asked to achieve those expectations without the skills, tools, or resources that you need.
Accurate and honest feedback about your performance as well as course-correcting direction when necessary.
A fair quid pro quo--recognition and rewards--in exchange for your performance.
