We were never taught how to lead effectively.
Smart people have been talking about great leadership for decades, yet it doesn't seem to stick--we still don't have widespread change happening within our organizations.
The Better Boss Blueprint cuts through the BS, clutter, and complex messages standard in "old, white-guy discourses" on leadership. Magosky walks the reader through ten simple--yet not simplistic--commitments that propel better bosses to success.
Written for all leaders, from corporations to solopreneurs, coaches to volunteers--anyone who hopes to achieve greatness with their team--The Better Boss Blueprint will teach you to be a more effective boss. Create an empowering and results-oriented culture in which everyone thrives--you, other leaders, employees, customers, vendors, and all stakeholders.
Inside this book you'll discover how to:
- Get your sh*t together by first putting on your oxygen mask
- Create your "To-Be" list and revolutionize communication with your team
- Hold meetings that don't suck and make them 'self-assemble'
- Engage people by having actual conversations and avoid having a bad-boss nightmare
The leadership landscape is treacherous to navigate: negative emotions, complicated human dynamics, sensitive group subtleties, and messy politics--managing people the hardest part of being a boss.
Too often employees are promoted to managerial positions because they're great at their job--but those skills don't necessarily transfer. As a result, teams end up with disconnected relationships and a lack of transparent communication, destroying productivity.
Whether you are a business, educator or non-profit, The Better Boss Blueprint delivers concrete tools--both the "art" and "science"--to help you stop focusing on workplace dysfunction and start addressing the diseases causing it.
Packed with easy-to-apply tools and candid personal stories, Magosky explains how to infuse humanity and real conversation back into the workplace giving readers realistic ways to create an environment where the whole team flourishes.
Anywhere there are people, there are bosses to be made better. If you lead a group of individuals and want them to succeed--this is your roadmap.
Make the change now to become a Better Boss...and watch the ripple effects on your team, in your workplace, and in your world. Join the quest to live and lead with #NoRegrets
