In this call-to-arms, consultant and speaker Bruce Tulgan puts his finger on biggest problem in corporate America: no one wants to be the boss. No one wants to take responsibility and tell their employees what to do and how to do it. More importantly, no one wants to follow up and make sure that assignments were done and done right. Making a clear distinction between managers who interfere with the work at hand and managers who are simply afraid to take charge by setting clear goals and evaluating work, this practical management guide opens eyes to the undisciplined workplace that is frustrating workers at every level. Giving a clear 8-step path to becoming a strong manager, Tulgan provides the essential leadership skills to empower anyone to be the best bosses they can be. This guide provides the proven, step-by-step framework for becoming the manager your employees need: The Undermanagement Epidemic: Discover why the real crisis isn’t micromanagement, but a popular hands-off approach that frustrates employees and costs organizations a fortune. Performance Coaching: Master the art of talking about the work—giving clear, direct instructions that build rapport and drive results, not resentment. Real Accountability: Learn how to tie concrete actions to real consequences, making accountability a fair and transparent process instead of a source of conflict. Proactive Problem Solving: Find out how to identify and solve small issues before they fester and grow, eliminating the need for dreaded, high-stakes confrontations. Review: Excellent book for managers - As a manager I've sometimes struggled with how approach employees regarding task I need done and providing feedback when employees miss the mark.

This book provides excellent strategy and examples of how to be more engaging and deal with problem employees as well as good employees. This is a must read for all managers.

Thank you for laying it out there ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tips about managing! *by C***L on February 27, 2016* This is an exceptional tool for managers. It helps us to understand the delicate balance between micromanaging and not managing at all. One of the biggest areas of frustration for managers is exactly that, managing other people! This book teaches you how to be proactive about managing, and how you can head off most "people headaches" long before they blow up in your face. Most managers get promoted into positions because they were good employees - but often do not have any management experience at all. I support this book and OFTEN recommend it because it helps managers to understand the importance of basic respect and involvement in their employee's day-to-day worklife. Management does not need to be difficult, and this book shows you both why and how. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4837310-its-okay-to-be-the-boss-the-step-by-step](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4837310-its-okay-to-be-the-boss-the-step-by-step) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
