How To Become A Great BossJeffrey J. Fox (Vermilion, London, May 15, 2007)Reviewed by admin Mon 24 Nov 08 Bob's Rating: How To Become A Great Boss is a book of rules and anecdotes. It’s easy to read – in fact it only took me about 2 hours from cover to cover. All the rules mentioned by Jeffrey J. Fox are appropriate and if applied, would work well for all bosses. Now there’s the rub – “if applied”. There is no suggestion in How To Become A Great Boss as to how one might apply these rules, merely a description of the rule and an anecdote to illustrate. I liken How To Become A Great Boss to a New Year’s resolution – fine, valid and admirable on the 1st of January, but forgotten by the 31st! If you are looking for a reminder of what makes a great boss, then this book may appeal. If you are looking to find out “how to” become a great boss, then this book falls short of the mark. There’s a place for vicarious learning, but not in such an important topic as management. |
