30 Reasons Why Employees Hate Their Managers

As promised, here is my review of "30 Reasons Employees Hate Their Managers" by Bruce L. Katcher. I found that this book covered a lot of really important information and I recommend it to all business owners and managers. The book is written in a style that is very academic and research oriented but gives you lots of anecdotes that are amusing and sad at the same time. Some of the examples used by Mr. Katcher will surprise readers only because you are probably guilty of the same behavior and had no idea how much your employees hate it. I found that this book does a fantastic job of making a case for increased spending on management training and development. It also clearly demonstrates how important it is for companies to implement programs that will give them as much insight into the minds of their employees as possible. How well do you know your employees? Unless you have a process for asking them, odds are not very well and there may be several of the 30 reasons occurring in your workplace. I highly recommend checking out this book, you can pick up a copy here:

Have a great day and learn something new.
