- Synopsis
- Being the boss is hard. You're caught in a web of conflicting expectations from your subordinates, your own boss, your peers, and your customers. You must get the best from your people, meet the ever-rising needs of your organization, satisfy your customers, and-on top of all that-keep your career on track. According to authors Linda Hill and Kent Lineback, becoming a great boss is a journey that requires you to master three imperatives: manage yourself, manage your network, and manage your team. In this chapter, Jason, a fictional manager, is juggling looming deadlines and the demands of various stakeholders-and feeling overwhelmed by all he must accomplish. The authors use Jason's story to explore eight paradoxes of management and explain how these paradoxes define management on a fundamental level. The chapter closes with a self test that allows you to identify your own leadership style as you embark on your personal journey toward becoming a great boss. This chapter was originally published as Chapter 1 of "Being the Boss: The 3 Imperatives for Becoming a Great Leader."
