Book Reviews of Managing Multiple Bosses: How to Juggle Priorities, Personalities & Projects -- and Make It Look Easy
Book Review: A practical approach to workplace situations
Summary: 4 Stars
Managing Multiple Bosses: How to Juggle Priorities, Personalities & Projects, and Make It Look Easy is a book with an atypical approach to solving common workplace issues. Written by author and speaker Pat Nickerson, the book is in fact a compilation of issues, discussions and solutions offered at different seminars by disparate participants. In this way, the book takes advantage of a rare common wisdom and set of experiences. Moreover, The overall subject-matter is more true to the book's sub-title as opposed to its main title. Managing Multiple Bosses... has a broader focus than just managing multiple superiors. It indeed discusses and offers practical solutions for other aspects of the corporate circus. In this context, the book has a lot to offer and is even fun to read at times - the serious nature of the issues discussed aside.The sole fault with the book though is its organization. Titles, sections and problems/solutions do not enjoy an elegant and logical pattern or organization. Rather, the book is somehow organized as one discussion after the other and the bold headings are of little consequence.
All in all, Pat Nickerson's compilation is an above average read for corporate citizens.
Summary of Managing Multiple Bosses: How to Juggle Priorities, Personalities & Projects -- and Make It Look Easy
MANAGING MULTIPLE BOSSES How to Juggle Priorities, Personalities & Projects -- and Make It Look Easy In today's downsized offices, employees may answer to as many as four bosses, each with conflicting priorities and impossible deadlines. Short of cloning themselves or working 18 hours a day, what are overworked staffers to do? The smartest move is to consult this unique book. It's packed with strategies to help anyone handle the pressures of the multi-boss dilemma. Each chapter explores specific responses to multiple demands, such as acting assertively, delegating, managing difficult personalities, and saying no without actually using the word. With this hands-on help, readers can begin to: ** put more usable time into their day ** juggle tasks and tempers without dropping the ball ** maintain quality and service despite tight deadlines. This immensely practical guide also delivers relief in the form of real-life Q&As, which analyze actual dilemmas raised by real people at the author's popular seminars. PAT NICKERSON (San Diego, CA) is an author, speaker, and corporate trainer for Exxon, NASA, and many others. She also teaches seminars for the American Management Association.
