“In an era in which so much of the business teachings are focused solely on leadership, Bruce Tulgan makes it safe again to be a hands-on manager. It’s Okay to be the Boss presents a clear plan to become the manager who will help your team thrive.”
Mike Archer, President T.G.I. Friday’s
It has never been more difficult to be a manager. The pressure to increase productivity and profits by doing more with less, while trying to corral a new high maintenance workforce that brings its own set of expectations and demands, has never been greater. All of this has led best-selling author and management consultant, Bruce Tulgan, to declare the days of “hands-off” management officially over.
It’s Okay to be the Boss is a humorous, highly entertaining call to action for managers, supervisors and leaders. Based on Tulgan’s best-selling book, this motivational video dispels the 7 myths that have created the current under-management epidemic at all levels of business. As Bruce says, “Follow any problem in business… bad service, missed deadlines, soggy fries… whatever. Everything is somebody’s job and everyone has a boss. Everything leads back to the boss.”
