| Synopsis | There's no tougher time to be a boss: you're expected to do more with less, talented workers are harder to find and keep and the legal climate is more confusing and treacherous than ever. And with millions of baby boomers hitting retirement these challenges will magnify in the years ahead when there will be 32 million fewer workers. In THE BOSS'S SURVIVAL GUIDE (McGraw-Hill; July 2001; $16.95) authors Bob Rosner, the creator of the internationally syndicated newspaper column "Working Wounded," (featured on GMA , 60 Minutes, NBC News, Larry King) Allan Halcrow, former editor-in-chief of Workforce magazine, and Alan Levins, Esq., Senior Partner with Littler Mendelson, provide bosses with the insight and strategies they'll need to thrive at work. THE BOSS'S SURVIVAL GUIDE identifies over 60 of the most vexing problems that bosses struggle with on a daily basis, including "how to screen out the jerks in a job search," "how to change problem behavior," "how to let people go fairly and legally" and "how to keep your people motivated." It also includes two "Top 10" lists: "Top 10 Ways to Stay Out of Jail" and "Top 10 Ways to Keep Your Best People." THE BOSS'S SURVIVAL GUIDE avoids "personnel-ese" and "legal-ese" even when it discusses today's most complex legal issues (I-9, ADA, etc.). It uses amusing metaphors and real world examples to give busy bosses a quick snapshot of each issue and the action steps they can take to resolve it. The book will soon have its own web site, RetentionEvangelist.com, where bosses can share tips and strategies with their peers. |
