It has never been more difficult to be a manager. In the current economic downturn, managers are being asked to turn things up. They feel 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. All of this has led best-selling author and management consultant, Bruce Tulgan, to declare the days of "hands-off" management officially over. Tulgan challenges managers everywhere to give up their "hands off = empowerment" style of managing and to re-engage with their employees by spelling out expectations, providing specific guidelines, correcting failure quickly and rewarding success on the spot. IT'S OKAY TO BE THE BOSS provides a step-by-step guide back to being the boss that employees appreciate and deserve.
