The Washington Post:
"...Marilyn Haight identifies 13 common bad boss types, and offers advice on how to cope with them. She also saves you some wasted effort by explaining what definitely doesn't work with each of those personality types. While the book would be useful to workers of all ages, it is especially helpful for those new to the workplace, who haven't mastered the basics of office politics." --November 27, 2005 Mary Ellen Slayter

Most Trusted Leader:
How Employees Judge Leadership
Are you the kind of leader who gets the best results because employees genuinely respect you? Or do employees suck up to you only because of your position, delivering less than their best? How can you be sure?
Many leadership definitions have been written by former CEO's who might have gotten better results if they had known what their employees knew. A slew of other definitions have been written by consultants who've convinced managers that the latest formula will magically turn ordinary bosses into the "real thing." But these definitions don't influence or fool employees--they have their own ideas.
Based on real people and events, the story in 'Most Trusted Leader: How Employees Judge Leadership' introduces the principles by which employees assess your performance--based on their role model, who might surprise you.
If you're wondering why employees' opinions of your leadership matter, well...you ought to read this story.
