Publisher's Note
For today's employees and their managers - faced with constant demands to change, to become empowered, and to develop leadership skills - It Takes Two presents an important new perspective and practical advice on how to manage the relationship between manager and managed. Gene Boccialetti tells not how to manage your boss but how to manage yourself in your relationship with your boss.
It Takes Two presents a fresh perspective on the relationship between manager and managed, telling not how to manage your boss but how to manage yourself in the relationship with your boss.Drawing on examples from both business and politics--including such notable political figures as Oliver North and Ronald Reagan--Gene Boccialetti describes the three orientations of management relationships--accommodating, autonomous, adversarial--and shows how to identify one's own style and determine how well and under what circumstances it does and doesn't work."This is the best work I have seen on developing effective relationships with superiors. It goes way beyond the simplistic notions and techniques of most 'managing your boss' books. It is carefully researched, insightful, and best of all, imminently practical."--John J. Gabarro, professor, Harvard Business School, and author of The Dynamics of Taking Charge"By emphasizing managers' relationships with their boss managers, Gene presents an important new perspective on the impact of authority relations on organizational processes. This new perspective makes a valuable addition to the management training we conduct to support cultural change in our organization."--Peter M. Richardson, director of training, Seabrook Station nuclear power plant, Northeast Utilities
