What Your Employer Meant to Tell You When They Made You a Manager

The second edition of What Your Employer Meant to Tell You When They Made You a Manager is intended to help managers to understand how they should think and behave in their role as a manager and how they can be successful in getting their employees to be more engaged in their jobs. Rogan's book focuses not only on helping managers avoid being a bad boss but more importantly, learning how to be a good boss. The 2nd edition has most of the same content but has been updated and reorganized to facilitate using the book as a training guide for managers. Rogan says, As a result of being asked to provide management training based on the book, I have changed the order of the chapters to better accommodate this training, updated some portions and added some. I have reorganized the order to focus first on the thoughts and behaviors of managers, the first area in which change must take place; and then on to the workplace environment that managers are responsible for creating in order to attract, motivate and retain the best employees . What Your Employer Meant to Tell You When They Made You a Manager is a book you may want to get for your own development but it also makes a great gift for your boss if you think your boss has some management practices that need improving.
