Quirky Did you ever have a great boss? Everyone should have one, but not
enough people do. If you're a boss, or hope to become one, or have a less-
than-great boss, then this is the book that could change your career-and
your life. In times like these, being a great boss can be harder than ever.
If you want surprising and useful advice on how to handle the tough stuff
-- from having to fire a long-time employee to being a new boss with a
demoralized team -- the stories, observations, and advice contained in this
gem of a book will set your feet in the right direction. And if you just
want advice on living up to the legend who preceded you in the job, or even
ways to emulate someone who was a great boss to you, Jeffrey Fox has
gathered anecdotes from some of the mightiest and most respected bosses in
America. The bestselling author who brought you How to Become CEO and How
to Become a Rainmaker knows the territory about which he speaks. Fox is the
master of the counterintuitive angle. For every boss who has implied "I
know what's best, that's why I'm the boss," Fox counsels, "Listen to
Phonies, Fools, and Frauds" and "Don't Check Expense Accounts." His stories
from bosses who have cared equally for employees' lives and the bottom line
will inspire you to see that profit counts, but so do camaraderie,
motivation, and a great place to work. In a time of considerable corporate
downsizing, it's more important than ever for bosses to surround themselves
with motivated employees. Jeffrey Fox's newest volume will have a place on
the shelves of top brass everywhere who want to remain leaders of their
pack.
