Реально крута книжка, яка поміняла погляд.
Ті речі які ніхто не говорив - тут описано. Вся там мішура про управління, яку пропонують різні книжки/методології/підходи - розбивається.
На мою думку - це перша книжка, яку має прочитати керівник.

Неочікувано крута книжка про епідемію пасивного менеджменту і про те, до чого вона призводить. Також розглядаються практичні поради управління працівниками, адже керівниками не народжуються, а стають в процесі і в основі того, щоб бути класним босом лежить індивідуальний підхід до кожного працівника і щоденне керування навіть високоефективними працівниками. Буде дуже корисною всім починаючим начальникам, керівникам, шефам, etc і впринципі всім, кому це може бути цікаво, адже серед прикладів, що тут подаються можна впізнати себе, свого начальника і колег.
Але оригінальна назва «It’s OK to be the boss» мені імпонує значно більше, в ній вкладено більше сенсу, який намагався передати автор.
