My Boss Is a Moron
'A wake-up call for anyone stuck in a toxic job' - Simon Squibb'Annoyingly funny, phenomenally helpful' - Chris DonnellyNo one sets out to be a bad boss. But some bosses out there really do give it all they’ve got. One in four of us feel like we are currently working for our worst boss ever. That not only has a huge impact on our enjoyment of the job, but our productivity also plummets, which surely is no good for anyone!The problem is, when you are stuck with a job or boss you don’t like, you are given the same two pieces of advice; either suck it up or go off and find a new job, which costs you time and a whole lot of headspace, and costs businesses too!My Boss is a Moron is all about the third way.Serial entrepreneur and content creator Ben Askins shows you how to handle a terrible boss, make the best of a bad situation and still come out on top.Taking you through the entire lifecycle of work from job descriptions and interviews, to pay rises, promotions, annual leave and so much more, My Boss is a Moron pulls back the curtain on why companies and bosses make the choices they make, and what you can do to give yourself the best possible chance of success.With outrageous real boss stories and Askins’ beloved sarcasm and humour, My Boss is a Moron is as entertaining as it is helpful and is designed to help you sidestep silly company policies and terrible management to ensure that you thrive at work, no matter the circumstances.

Boss
Viele Führungskräfte sind ihrer Führungsrolle nicht gewachsen. Und Unternehmen kostet das Millliarden. Das Buch von Dr. Peter Aschenbrenner ist ein Leitfaden für Führungskräfte und alle, die es werden wollen oder sollen. Es ist Ratgeber und zugleich Hilfestellung, um die Führungsqualität zu erhöhen. Hier kommt Bruce Springsteen als Führungskraft ins Spiel. Für den leidenschaftlichen Bruce-Springsteen-Fan Peter Aschenbrenner ist der "Boss" ein ideales Vorbild für Führungsstärke. Von der Art, wie er mit seiner Band zum Beispiel auf der Bühne agiert, können sich Führungskräfte in Unternehmen etwas abschauen. Das heißt, die sich überall durchziehende musikalische Metapher mit realen Erlebnissen des Autors aus seinen 137 Bruce-Springsteen-Konzertbesuchen holen den Leser in eine nahbare Welt. Entwicklungsfelder werden sichtbar, um als Führungskraft professioneller, entspannter, gelassener und gesünder zu arbeiten. Das Buch transferiert auf leicht umsetzbare Art Theorie in die Praxis und fördert die Leichtigkeit in der Führung. Darüber hinaus ermöglicht es noch die Beantwortung einer Frage, mit der sich fast jede Führungskraft einmal konfrontiert sieht: "Will ich das wirklich?"

Schooling Your Boss to Not Suck
"Schooling Your Boss to not Suck" takes a fun and sarcastic journey into tales of horrible bosses. There are countless books on improving the workplace, but nothing like this. Is your boss a supervillain? Need a superhero to straighten him out? Instead of being written by another stuffy "expert", author Eric Muss-Barnes (who barely squeaked out of high school, let alone finished college), offers a lighthearted slant on leadership from the viewpoint of the common worker. True stories. Real experiences. No "puppydogs and rainbows" like other motivational books. Just genuine events of piss and vinegar from the American middleclass workplace. Eric is just an Average Joe, like yourself, telling it like it is. If your boss sincerely wants to learn how to motivate and inspire the people, it's time the boss stopped listening to other leaders and started listening to what regular people like you have to say. It's time someone whipped off those mild-mannered glasses, and schooled your boss on how to not suck!

Good Boss, Bad Boss
Good Boss, Bad Boss was inspired by the thousands of emails, calls and conversations that Robert Sutton received after publishing his bestseller The No Asshole Rule - he found that most of the stories and cries for help he received revolved around one central figure in every workplace: THE BOSS. Sutton's subsequent research showed that the success of every boss depended heavily on how well (or badly) they managed those they worked with and in Good Boss, Bad Boss he demonstrates this by weaving together the best psychological and management secrets with true stories, to reveal the mindset and moves of the best bosses, and contrasts them with the behaviour of the worst. If you want to understand how the best bosses think and act so that you can get better at your job or find a better boss to work for, Good Boss, Bad Boss has all the answers.

It's Okay To Be The Boss
Do you feel you don't have enough time to manage your people? Do you avoid interacting with some employees because you hate the dreaded confrontations that often follow? Do you have some great employees you really cannot afford to lose? Do you secretly wish you could be more in control but don't know where to start? Managing people is harder and more high-pressure today than ever before. There's no room for downtime, waste, or inefficiency. You have to do more with less. And employees have become high maintenance. Not only are they more likely to disagree openly and push back, but they also won't work hard for vague promises of long-term rewards. They look to you--their immediate boss--to help them get what they need and want at work. How do you tackle this huge management challenge? If you are like most managers, you take a hands-off approach. You "empower" employees by leaving them alone, unless they really need you. After all, you don't want to "micromanage" them and don't have the time to hold every employee's hand. Of course, problems always come up and often snowball into bigger problems. In fact, you probably spend too much of your time solving problems and falling behind on your work . . . which leaves even less time for managing people . . . which opens the door for even more problems! In It's Okay to Be the Boss, Bruce Tulgan puts his finger on the biggest problem in corporate America--an undermanagement epidemic affecting managers at all levels of the organization and in all industries--and offers another way. His clear, step-by-step guide to becoming the strong manager employees need challenges bosses everywhere to spell out expectations, tell employees exactly what to do and how to do it, monitor and measure performance constantly, and correct failure quickly and reward success even more quickly. Now that's how you set employees up for success and help them earn what they need. Tulgan opens our eyes to the undisciplined workplace that is overwhelming managers and frustrating workers and invites bosses everywhere to accept the sacred responsibility of managing people. His message: It's okay to be the boss. Be a great one!

Boss B*tch
Lioness is a comprehensive leadership guide for women who are ready to lead with confidence and reclaim their power at work.As an executive coach and training facilitator, Dr Mel Milton-Smith has worked with hundreds of women across industries and career stages. Time and again, she’s found the same pattern: capable women who have every reason to be confident, yet walk into rooms with quiet voices, minimized selves, and a tendency to play small.This book is for those women. With candor and compassion, Dr Milton-Smith combines real-world insights, extensive research, and practical tools to help readers build confidence at work. She introduces the LEVIA Framework: Lead, Elevate, Value, Intuit, and Assert.LEAD explores shifts from traditional, transactional leadership styles toward contemporary approaches centered on strong values, empathy, and agility.ELEVATE discusses how to build high-trust relationships, cultivate influential networks, and create psychologically safe and inclusive team cultures.VALUE helps women recognize their worth, set boundaries, celebrate their wins, and ask for what they need and want—especially regarding pay, promotions, and opportunities.INTUIT connects readers with their inner compass, teaching them to look inward, trust their intuition, and make leadership decisions that honor their purpose and values.ASSERT provides practical tools to help women communicate clearly and confidently, negotiate positive outcomes, set boundaries, say “no,” and manage challenging conversations.Dr Mel Milton-Smith also tackles the “elephants in the boardroom”: the gender pay gap, the motherhood tax, and the double binds women often face around confidence, competence, and likability.Drawing on global research, she shows how systemic inequality and social conditioning can undermine women’s confidence—and what practical steps women and their allies can take to shift the balance.Readers will find exercises on building trust and influence, challenging unhelpful feedback, and breaking cycles of people-pleasing. They’ll also see themselves in the stories of women who chose to leave employers that didn’t value them—and built successful careers on their own terms.Lioness closes by encouraging women to claim their power at work and in life, and to connect with a wider community through Dr Mel Milton-Smith’s online platform and training programs.
