Why is good leadership so rare? Everyone has to manage up
to some extent but frankly some bosses are worse than
others. If you're being driven crazy by a micro-manager,
frequently drown under your boss's unreasonable
expectations, or struggle with being handed out
responsibilities but no authority, then international
behavioural expert Thomas Erikson is here to help. Drawing
on the simple four-colour system that made "Surrounded by
Idiots" a global bestseller, Erikson shows how
understanding your boss's behavioural tendencies as well
as your own will lead to a more harmonious and productive
workplace. He also sets out what characterises an
exemplary leader type and how you can adapt your behaviour
to model it. Because there are two sides to every coin,
Erikson also looks at employees themselves and why some
colleagues frequently underachieve and what you can do to
change this. Written with Erikson's signature humour and
warmth, Surrounded by Bad Bosses (and Lazy Employees) will
help you deal with the most hopeless managers and
employees you can imagine - and keep you entertained along
the way.
