Review by Library Journal Review

Abbajay, president and founder of Careerstone Group, a consulting firm specializing in corporate training and leadership development, here focuses on the art of managing your boss. The author contends that learning to manage your boss is the single most important thing you can do to take charge of your workplace life and the most significant soft skill you can learn to manage your career. Abbajay suggests there are four basic "bosses" or leadership personalities in the workplaces: energizers, advancers, harmonizers, and evaluators. For each persona, Abbajay describes the motivations or drivers, the suggested strategies to work alongside that persona, and real-life stories illustrating the methods. Abbajay includes the same kind of information for difficult bosses, which include micromanagers, absentee managers, narcissists, impulsive bosses, pushovers, workaholics, and the truly terrible. VERDICT An insightful guide for decoding your boss with practical and proven strategies to maintain the relationship effectively.-Jane Scott, Clark Lib., Univ. of Portland, OR © Copyright 2018.
