Top management is spending too much time on employee development and not enough on the overall strategy of the business.
I personally found this book to be an excellent read, and while I haven’t read to many business management books. I can feel safe to say that I think this one does an excellent job in conveying key management principals for today’s workplace. It also appealed to me due to my fascination with the way in which our military operates. I believe he did a great job of staying clear of getting too detailed in either is leadership model and military jargon.

Dr. Sutton highlights what it takes to be a good boss. People that work for a good boss are 20 percent less likely to have a heart attack (Sutton, 2010). Dr. Sutton wrote that teams with stronger leaders cost the company less money and achieved their work better (Sutton, 2010). Engagement and performance of employees were based upon their direct boss and not if the company was good or bad (Sutton, 2010). Most bad bosses have employees who have check-out: actively disengaged, and undermine their co-workers accomplishments. Managers have to find the balance between performance and humanity to be successful. Performance is about doing everything possible to help followers do great work; while humanity is about employees experiencing dignity and pride. Treating managerial work as an endurance race instead of a sprint race with small wins will lead one to becoming a good boss called grit by Sutton. Sutton believes that good bosses walk a constructive line between being assertive and not assertive enough with guidance, wisdom, and feedback that he called Lasorda’s law (Sutton, 2010).

They are many reasons for this. However, the work environment created by poor leadership skills is often one of the main reasons for it. In order to help improving the motivation and lack of leadership in my department I will use Maslow’s Theory of Human Motivation. According to Denhardt et al. (2015) page 155 one model that explains the changes that have occurred in human motivation over the past years is the need theory by Abraham Maslow, Maslow’s hierarchy (1943) “Maslow argued that people are motivated to behave in ways that will satisfy their needs.” (Pg.

She would gossip with her subordinates about other employees. There had been a time when I heard her call one of her employees an idiot when he was in the next room.
