Summary

You never dreamed being the boss would be so hard. You're caught in a web of conflicting expectations from subordinates, your supervisor, peers, and customers.You're not alone. As Linda Hill and Kent Lineback reveal in Being the Boss, becoming an effective manager is a painful, difficult journey. It's trial and error, endless effort, and slowly acquired personal insight. Many managers never complete the journey. At best, they just learn to get by. At worst, they become terrible bosses.This new book explains how to avoid that fate, by mastering three imperatives:·         Manage yourself: Learn that management isn't about getting things done yourself. It's about accomplishing things through others.·         Manage a network: Understand how power and influence work in your organization and build a network of mutually beneficial relationships to navigate your company's complex political environment.·         Manage a team: Forge a high-performing "we" out of all the "I"s who report to you.Packed with compelling stories and practical guidance, Being the Boss is an indispensable guide for not only first-time managers but all managers seeking to master the most daunting challenges of leadership.

    There's never been more discussion around diversity and inclusion in the workplace. From gender pay gaps to the #MeToo movement, it seems that every organization has finally recognized that change needs to happen.Despite this, true progress towards more inclusive workspaces has been excruciatingly slow and, in some cases, has grinded to a halt. Following extensive research and interviews at over 200 international businesses, Kathryn Jacob, Sue Unerman, and Mark Edwards have discovered the major problem that is holding back the move towards greater diversity: where are all the men?Most men are not engaged with D&I initiatives in the workplace—at one extreme they may be feeling actively hostile and threatened by the changing cultural landscape. But others may be unmotivated to change—recognizing the abstract benefits of diversity but not realizing what's in it for them. Built upon this seemingly counterintuitive approach of bringing men into the conversation, Belonging is an accessible and comprehensive guide to achieving diversity that lasts.
