It’s Okay to Manage Your Boss: The Step-by-Step Program for Making the Best of Your Most Important Relationship at WorkBruce Tulgan argues that as managers demand more and more from their employees, they are also providing them with less guidance than ever before. Since the number one factor in employee success is the relationship between employees and their immediate managers, employees need to take greater responsibility for getting the most out of that relationship. Drawing on years of experience training managers and employees, Tulgan reveals the four essential things employees should get from their bosses to guarantee success at work. This book shows employees how to ask for what they need to succeed in their high-pressure jobs; shatters previously held beliefs about how employees should manage up; and outlines what employees must get from their managers: clear expectations; the skills needed to perform their jobs; honest feedback, recognition or rewards.
