message 1: by Steve

Steve Neal Have you ever been bullied at work, micromanaged by a tyrant boss, or worked for a manager who struggled with telling the truth? Have you ever had the misfortune of reporting to an incompetent executive who can’t seem to find their way out of a wet paper bag, had to answer to a yes-sir, three bags full foreman, or take direction from an egg headed administrator who had no business being in charge?

With law enforcement as his backdrop, Steve Neal takes you inside the world of noxious mismanagement, exposing the consequences of toxic supervisory behavior. Straight talk from a tough cop who offers respectful and artistic leadership tactics, makes Toxic Boss Blues a must read for anyone who has ever tangled with a difficult supervisor.
