How to Think Like a Boss

This book gives practical tips to think like a boss in your organization, and to get ahead at work.

This book, written by a former corporate CEO, provides the reader with an inside look at how a business executive makes decisions. Written in an easy-to-read style, it stresses the point that "employees who understand what their bosses want will be able to satisfy them, and employees who satisfy their bosses will get promoted." Eigen provides practical advice about such issues as ethics in the work place, giving and receiving criticism, seeking raises, and coping with bad bosses. His examples are relevant and his advice helpful. Covering less than George Graen's Unwritten Rules for Your Career (Wiley, 1989), this work will be useful, nevertheless, for readers seeking advice on career development. Recommended.
