THE PROGRAM
Stronger working relationships with managers.
The working relationship employees have with their immediate managers is the number one factor determining their success.
So many managers are so busy – or otherwise unwilling or unable to provide strong leadership – that most employees simply do not get what they need from their managers. But employees can do a lot to help themselves.
Blending humor, insight, and concrete best-practices based on decades of research, Bruce Tulgan guides employees through the critical skills of managing their relationship with their bosses by highlighting what factors they can and can’t influence and how to work successfully within that framework.
