Every team has a manager.... But not every team is lucky enough to have a true leader. Get ready to break the mold! Did you know that 82 percent of employees would consider quitting their job because of a bad boss? And it isn’t just that you don’t want to be a bad boss…. You don’t want to be a boss at all – you want to be a leader. A boss commands…. A leader inspires and influences – and that’s the route to happy employees, a dedicated workforce, and an organization that achieves its goals. Whether you’re a new manager, an aspiring one, or an experienced manager or business owner, there’s always more to learn…and there’s always room to develop your leadership skills so that you can be sure you’re an inspirational and empathetic leader… and not a disconnected boss. It all starts with the workplace culture you cultivate… one that is positive, inclusive, and authentic…one that motivates your team to go above and beyond…and to do so happily.

Any successful organization has, at its core, a team that trusts and respects its leaders and is willing to do what it takes to help the company reach its goals…and behind every team like this, there’s a leader who knows just what to do to steer the ship. You can be that leader. And with this comprehensive guide by your side, you’ll have something to refer to every time you flounder. Inside, you’ll discover: 5 critical reasons why company culture is so important – know your why before you get to the how5 levels of leadership – and how you can make sure you’re always progressing. Everything you need to know about impostor syndrome – and how you can kick it to the curb! The surprising role of emotional intelligence in successful leadership… and how to develop yours. The one person you need to manage before you can lead everyone else…plus top tips for doing so successfully. The #1 thing that brings a team together – and the red flags that tell you when it’s missing.

Time-tested advice from two entrepreneurs with an emphasis on leading over (micro)managing. Outstanding examples on the right way and wrong way to motivate staff and key points from scientific studies on successful business practices. The motif is simple: give a damn about your people and they will give a damn about you and your business (and not resign). As they say, "be an empathetic leader not a disconnected boss" by fostering a supportive, rather than toxic work environment.

As someone who spent their career in middle management, I was able to identify with this book as both a manager and an employee. I was surprised and encouraged by some of the statistics that stated employees care more about being happy at their job than how much money they earn. Isn't treating your employees with dignity and encouragement the same concept we should be using in all of our relationships! It is time to treat everyone in your life with respect and there are many great ideas in this book on how to do that in the work place. Great read for every manager.
