Whether you’re in the C-Suite or newly promoted, you’re most likely succeeding at your job. But are you reaching your full potential as a manager? Most top performers suspect they aren’t, and Sabina Nawaz, former Microsoft executive and elite Fortune 500 coach, says they’re usually right. Unfortunately, it’s often hard to recognize the problem or know how to address it.
In You’re the Boss, Nawaz taps her experience and proprietary data drawn from analyzing and advising executives at organizations like Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Motorola, Nordstrom, and the United Nations, to offer managers everything they need to know to succeed at the job. Her work reveals that as our job expands, the added pressure to perform corrupts our actions, and our increased power will blind us to the impact of those actions. Even the most well-intentioned manager can quickly become the boss nobody wants to work for.
