{"product_id":"work-happy-what-great-bosses-know-1","title":"Work Happy: What Great Bosses Know","description":"When Jill Geisler was appointed to news director of her local station at the age of 27, her senior managerial experience was limited to a high school job at a candy shop. Thirty years later, she is one of the leading consultants for managers across the country. Work Happy shares what she's learned over the years, specifically what makes good bosses great.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOftentimes, managers find themselves in the same position as Geisler did 30 years ago; they were good performers, so they were tapped to lead a team. But what made them good at their craft isn't guaranteed to make them good at helping others excel. They have managerial skill gaps, big ones, and their mistakes can hurt employees, businesses, and their own careers. In Work Happy, Geisler specifically addresses these skill gaps and provides managers with practical and precise research-based tools they can put to use immediately.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book is divided into three sections: What Great Bosses Know and Do; How Great Bosses Grow Great Employees; and How Great Bosses Build Great Places to Work. The chapters in each section address various challenges managers face in the workplace and offer specific advice for conquering them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapters include:\u003cbr\u003e· What Employees Never Forget—and Never Forgive\u003cbr\u003e· Manage Yourself So You Can Lead Others\u003cbr\u003e· Tough Times, Tough Love; Handling Problem People and Tricky Situations\u003cbr\u003e· Why It Pays to be a Coach\u003cbr\u003e· How to Make Collaboration a Way of Life\u003cbr\u003e· Would Your Best People Tell Their Best Friends to Work Here?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlong with advice, Geisler includes quotes from real employees, warnings about misapplication, and quizzes and self-assessment tools for managers to diagnose their strengths and weaknesses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Work Happy, Jill Geisler teaches managers to commiserate with challenges, laugh at absurdities, and celebrate success.","brand":"bookshop.lol","offers":[{"title":"Thryft - Used (Like New)","offer_id":43309159809102,"sku":"9781455547074","price":17.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Thryft - Used (Very Good)","offer_id":43309159841870,"sku":"9781455547074","price":14.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Thryft - Used (Good)","offer_id":43309159874638,"sku":"9781455547074","price":13.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Thryft - Used (Well Read)","offer_id":43309159907406,"sku":"9781455547074","price":12.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/3857\/4926\/files\/17899690_af3dc0ee-3c26-4bde-9b2e-6770f0bce234.jpg?v=1768172391","url":"https:\/\/bookshop.lol\/products\/work-happy-what-great-bosses-know-1","provider":"bookshop.lol","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
