How to Be a Great Boss

I have been in management for several years and I’m always looking for material to continue with the development of my leadership skills and this book has some great simple suggestions to help bring teams together and identify weaknesses in areas. I have implemented a couple of the suggestions in this book. I recommend all leaders read it.

I got the book for my daughter, she's a manager. It turns out that she is already doing most of the things described, but there were some suggestions relating to difficult employees that was useful . It did broaden her knowledge and gave her more confidence in her job . It would be helpful to anyone stepping into a managerial position.

I liked the simplicity of the message- this was a quick read. As with Wickman’s other books about the EOS- (Traction and Get a Grip), there are useful forms included and helpful lists and exercises to lead and manage others. This book will be most useful for entrepreneurs who want to be great leaders and managers of people in their organizations, and likely don’t have HR professionals on staff to advise them. The only reason I didn’t rank this a 5 is that I am a tough rater, and this didn’t include any new information for me- it covers the basics, so is a good refresher for some who already know these principles.

Great book! Loved it and it’s very very helpful for any business owner/ startup business out there :) Would recommend 10/10

I like that the authors challenge bosses to get better at being a boss by having systems and processes developed and use them consistently to help you grow a great team.

Great product

Like many of the other books related to the Entreprenuerial Operating System (EOS), it contains a lot of the same information. So if you have read Traction, Rocket Fuel, etc. you will find a lot is repeated. That said, as a new integrator in a small company that has been implimenting the EOS system over the last few years, I'm a big fan of the EOS model and think a few more dollars for another book to help round out your EOS tool set is well worth it. Our company's visionary and I have started discussing chapter by chapter the contents of this book.

overall a good read. Only negative, it seems designed to get you to use their larger program which would be a large purchase. But I did think it was worth it overall.

I enjoyed the direct instruction given by this book but it overlaps a little with what was given in his other book Traction, so not everything was new.

In a world of complicated management texts, this book is fantastically simple to grasp and has practical tools to implement. Anyone contemplating a cultural challenge in their organisation should consider this read.

Brilliant book - one that I keep coming back to!

Book as described and excellent condition

O ponto negativo do livro é que é em inglês, então quem não tem intimidade com a língua pode não aproveitar muito, porém não precisa ser fluente, o livro não usa termos técnicos e já seguindo a linha de Gino Wickman, ele usa uma linguagem simples e objetiva, o que facilita a leitura para os que tem inglês intermediário e avançado. O livro já começa quebrando uma barreira minha sobre o termo chefe, eu que não gostava muito de ser chamado assim, passei a ter simpatia, originário do holandês. “Baas” é usado para a pessoa que está liderando como uma forma de respeito. Mas veja que ele é usado pelo liderado e não pelo líder. Você pode se chamar de gerente, diretor, presidente, mas não de chefe, isso cabe ao seu liderado te identificar como tal. Leitura para todos os gestores. Iniciantes irão tirar ótimos aprendizados. Experientes se não tiver aprendizados, com certeza gostarão da leitura para reforçar alguns valores e encontrar um pouco de combustível para realizar essa desafiadora missão de liderar. Ótima leitura!!!
