Overview

"WHY ARE SO MANY BOSSES JUST SO DIFFICULT TO WORK WITH, SCARY, INTIMIDATING OR JUST PLAIN IRRITATING? WHY DO YOU OR YOUR TEAMS OFTEN FEEL FLAT, DISENGAGED OR UNSAFE? And, if you are a boss or manager, how can you uplift others and create a truly high performing team that hums? A boss's power use is at the heart of all these issues, but it can also be the solution. Dr. Paul Donovan unpacks what makes bad bosses so upsetting, and how you can avoid the misuses of power that plague the workplace. He explains that most of our bosses are persistently anxious and while that anxiety remains unacknowledged, anxious bosses become bad bosses. In other words, they misuse their managerial power. The good news is that this is avoidable. Paul shows us how bosses can restore dignity, freedom and growth in the lives of those that report to them, and cultivate teams that exceed desired outcomes. Bosses Behaving Badly will help you avoid the disastrous ""power paradox"", and become a boss everyone wants to work with."
