Mandatory Reading for the Modern Office Worker,
By TAAMinator "taaminator" (Ozark, AL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Manage Your Boss: Build a Partnership with Your Boss That Will Make You Both Successful (Communication Series, 60-Minute Training Series) (Paperback)
"How to Manage Your Boss" is easy to read, fun, fact-filled, densely-packed, and helpful. There are checklists, questionaires, and a few charts. There are no cartoons or graphics."How to Manage Your Boss" is one of the best business/office psychology books I have ever read. Basically, "Boss" does exactly what it says: It analyzes you, your boss, and your work environment and provides methods to manage your boss to achieve success. The way it performs this feat is by a series of questionaires and checklists. The book is divided into five sections: "Know Yourself First"; "Knowing Your Boss;" "Creating a Climate for Success;" "Maintain Your Relationship With Your Boss;" and, "Do You Know These Bosses?" "Know Yourself First." The book has you take a realistic look at yourself. In "Assessing Yourself," the book has you make a realistic analysis of yourself. Subsections are: "Learn to manage yourself;" "Managing Your Emotions;" "Managing Your Time." "Knowing Your Boss" takes you through an analysis and understanding of your boss. Subsections are: "Get Smart: Do You Really Know Your Boss;" "Rate Your Boss;" "What are Your Boss's Needs?" "Creating a Climate for Success" takes you through the workplace and emphasizes what is important to you, your boss, and your company. Subsections are: "Your success is my success;" "Specific strategies for success;" and "Building better communications with your boss." "Maintain your relationship with your boss" takes you through a pro-active understanding of communications with the boss. Subsections are: "how you'll know it's working;" "manage your performance review;" and "when It's not working." "Do you know these bosses" is a sterile anecdotal gallery and formal strategy to stop bad bosses. One strength ... THE strength of the book is its checklists and surveys. "How to Manage Your Boss" asks a rhetorical question, then provides a specific questionaire to complete. "Boss" asks an essay question, then provides a specific, detailed questionaire about the subject. Unlike other books which take a hundred pages to convey one thought with no mechanics to implement the idea, "Boss" crams lots of ideas into one book and provides tangible, useful, modify-able tools to carry out its/your ideas. This book should be read by any and all because EVERYone has a boss.
