About this listen
If your employees brought their "A-Game" to work every day, what would it mean for your company's performance?
Studies have repeatedly shown that the majority of employees are disengaged at work. But it doesn't have to be this way. Often, the difference between a group of indifferent employees and a fully engaged team comes down to one simple thing - a great boss.
In How to Be a Great Boss, Gino Wickman and René Boer present a straightforward, practical approach to help bosses at all levels of an organization get the most from their people. They share time-tested tools that have worked for more than 30,000 bosses in every industry. You can learn to be a great boss - and dramatically improve both your organization's performance and your team's excitement about their work.

Story
Eileen Sharp and Vic Hightower were frustrated. After years of profitable, predictable growth, Swan Services was in a rut. Meetings were called and discussions held, but few decisions were made and even less got done. People were pointing fingers and assigning blame, but nothing happened to solve Swan’s mounting problems. It felt as though they were working harder than ever but with less impact. The company Eileen and Vic had founded and built for 10 years was a different place. It just wasn’t fun anymore.

Great book on being an effrctive leader
This book started out bland and boring, but once it got into the meat and potatoes of it, found it very interesting. The narrators voice was quite boring though.

Every manager needs to read this book
It’s surprising how many managers have never had formal training on how to actually manage. This book is a framework and a guide that shows every manager how to schedule feedback, provide feedback, and to advance the outcomes of the organization. This is a must read for every manager who wants to invest in becoming better.

it's business fiction
it's embellished and creepily religious. was a mandatory requirement that a former supervisor recommended, and if your boss asks you to read it, do it on their time, not your own.
