Most people realize they should avoid that bad boss everyone is talking about, but fewer realize that the ones people aren’t discussing could be worse. Bad bosses seem to be hidden around every corner and stashed in every niche. And they come in more varieties than Baskin-Robbins ice cream.

Bad Boss, Great Boss tries to make sense of a plethora of problematic supervisors -- from the Gentleman to the Screamer and everywhere in between. Inside this book's pages you’ll learn about the ten types of extreme bosses that ultimately fail in their jobs. You'll also learn the keys to identifying such dysfunctional leaders and some tips for surviving in their organizations.

But Bad Boss, Great Boss doesn't stop there. In the second half of the book, you can explore what it takes for a supervisor to go from “good” to truly "great.” Modeled on one particular supervisor's stellar skills and behaviors, this portion of the book helps the reader learn what it takes to be a great boss. By the time the book is finished, the reader should have an appreciation of why a "great" boss is such a rarity.

Whether you’re an employee searching for that once in a career "great boss," a victim trying to decide if it is worth it to hang in there with a "bad boss," or a leader hoping to improve your people management skills, Bad Boss, Great Boss can help.
