Inhaltsangabe

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.

The author's unique perspective on self-awareness and personal development can be applied to a wide variety of organizations. Based on extensive quantitative and qualitative research--including a base of more than seven hundred managers and interviews and self-analysis data with dozens of managers--this book maps the patterns of people's responses to authority relations and provides guidance on how to change yourself and the relationship to be more effective, satisfying, and productive. 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.
