review 1: The only problem with this book is that the bad bosses, or "bossholes" as the book calls them, that need to read this won't, and they will continue to be bossholes, no matter what you do or tell them.You are probably reading this book because you are a victim of a bosshole and you want to learn more about how to deal with them. This book tells you how not to be one, but you probably wouldn't have become one because you are taking the time to read this book.It is also upsetting to realize that somewhere out there, there are humane bosses and you are not working for one of them and you probably never will.
review 2: We define a boss as a person who has control and authority over workers. Robert Stutton, in his book Good Boss Bad Boss gives a preview of how ma
... moreny bosses exercise their control and authority without any care for their followers. He also shares stories about good bosses, or bosses who care and get great results. If you are a boss, then you affect the quality of work and the quality of work environment in your company. Stutton’s book shows that the quality of work environment you create is the legacy you will leave behind. When you finally leave the workplace, will your followers look at you as someone who trampled over their dignity or as a boss they loved to work with? You can read Stutton’s book to recognize the answer and change direction if needed . . . and leave behind a legacy as a good boss. less
