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," authors Gino Wickman and Rene Boer present a straight-forward, practical approach to help bosses at all levels of an organization get the most from their people. "How to Be a Great Boss" provides practical tools that you can apply immediately with your people, allowing you to focus on improving and growing your organization and truly enjoy what you do.
A great boss creates a work environment where people are fully engaged and highly accountable. The truth is, if you do five things consistently as a leader and five things consistently as a manager, you will be a great boss. It's that simple!
It doesn't matter if you're nice or tough, introverted or extroverted, charismatic or reserved. Just be yourself. When you are authentic, you are more believable and you will build trust.
There's no middle ground here. You must genuinely desire to become a great boss.
