Miller discusses the antics of these and other outrageous bosses who were nominated as America's worst in his "Best Boss/Worst Boss" contests. Their stories will amaze you. Some will make you laugh and some will even turn your stomach, but there are important lessons to learn from each. Miller examines dozens of such stories, explains the causes for such appalling behavior, and offers sound, practical advice.
But this book is not just about bad bosses, the Coach also points to some of the country's best bosses as people we emulate. Everyone can benefit from his advice on how to succeed at business -- happy employees lead to happy customers! Jim's book is a call to reform the American workplace -- to make it more like home -- not only because it's more humane, but also because it's just good business.
You'll want to refer to Miller's advice often. For ease of reference, each chapter concludes with two important summaries. First, The Corporate Coach tells how he might handle a given situation, such as asking a tightwad boss for a raise. These insightful hints are a practical guide to dealing with some of the most common problems between bosses and their employees. Each is followed by the Coach's Corner, in which Miller collects the key points from that chapter and puts them in easy reach for quick reference.
For insight, practical advice, and even some humor, there's never been a handbook this useful for employees and bosses everywhere. It's a must read...no matter who's the boss!
