It’s Okay to Manage Your Boss [PDF ebook] 
The Step-by-Step Program for Making the Best of Your Most Important Relationship at Work

Get what you need from your boss

In this follow-up to the bestselling It’s Okay to Be the
Boss, Bruce Tulgan argues that as managers demand more and more
from their employees, they are also providing them with less
guidance than ever before. Since the number one factor in employee
success is the relationship between employees and their immediate
managers, employees need to take greater responsibility for getting
the most out of that relationship. Drawing on years of experience
training managers and employees, Tulgan reveals the four essential
things employees should get from their bosses to guarantee success
at work.

* Shows employees how to ask for what they need to succeed in
their high-pressure jobs

* Shatters previously held beliefs about how employees should
manage up

* Outlines what employees must get from their managers: clear
expectations; the skills needed to perform their jobs; honest
feedback, recognition or rewards

A novel approach to managing up, It’s Okay to Manage Your
Boss is an invaluable resource for employees who want to work
more effectively with their managers.
