“How To Be A Boss” is up-front about the context it was written for: Corporate America. It was rather strange going through this book right after reading “It Doesn’t Have To Be Crazy At Work” by the Basecamp guys. That book was about improving company culture, increasing efficiency and creating better work/life balance. “How To Be A Boss” is more about being the best boss you can be as a cog in the machine, working under the assumption that your company’s culture ISN’T as healthy as it could be.

A short read that would be worth it to any new manager or long-time leader that has a need to improve their boss-game.

Not exactly what I expected
I think I might be using this book a lot in the future. While I didn’t realize it more for cooperate america, there are a lot of gems in this book.

A very good, very simple read with very, very great advice. Will read many, many times again as I consider management, become a manager, and work on improving my skills as a manager.
Blazed through this book. I appreciated its candor and found it helpful for mentorship and teaching.
