Managing Your Manager: How to Get Ahead with Any Type of Boss

It's not only helping me strengthen my relationship with my manager but it has also helped to identify the kind of leader that I want to be. Mr. Dufour lays out several different management styles in a way that's informative and easy to follow. It's a quick read but it's packed with valuable information that anyone will be able to use. I wish that I had this book years ago.

100% recommended

This book was well written. In addition, I took a lot of notes that will likely help my future bosses. Nothing is more frustrating than trying to figure out your boss

I don't work in business, so maybe that's why these types don't match my experiences that well. It's easy to read, and with some reasonable suggestions, but I wasn't wowed (and even skipped a few of the sections)

I have a hard copy of this book, I really wanted a soft copy so I have it with me all the time. I really enjoy this book, it gives a great perspective of boss's. However, I try to use the information to identify personalities of people I run into, and how to get a long with them.

I think this book was insightful and helpful in delivering tips on dealing with your boss and co-workers. I would recommend it to any assistant, both executive and personal.

Which I'd read sooner. My boss was several of these... lol.. someone that also works with her refered to her as "serial killer smooth". Mainly because she drives a large bus and has a long trail of dead bodies behind her...

I bought this book for my sister, who is having a hard time with her boss. Unfortunately, her boss doesn't fit any of the six "boss types" that the author analyzes, and the author has no strategies for dealing with other boss types. This is one of those books that you have to read first in order to know if it's going to apply to your particular situation, and in my sister's case, it didn't.

Every person in the world who has a job should read this! I have learned how to manage my manager, I saw my management style and understand my strengths and weaknesses and most of all, I see the style of those below me and now have a better understanding of how to manage them to succeed. A must read!

Just what I needed very straight forward and easy to understand

Provides a new way to think and study bosses rather than being. Subject to them. It was a good read.

Great, DOTIF thanks

Its just OK!
