How to Be a Great Boss

Great book! Loved it and it’s very very helpful for any business owner/ startup business out there :) Would recommend 10/10

Great product

I liked the simplicity of the message- this was a quick read. As with Wickman’s other books about the EOS- (Traction and Get a Grip), there are useful forms included and helpful lists and exercises to lead and manage others. This book will be most useful for entrepreneurs who want to be great leaders and managers of people in their organizations, and likely don’t have HR professionals on staff to advise them. The only reason I didn’t rank this a 5 is that I am a tough rater, and this didn’t include any new information for me- it covers the basics, so is a good refresher for some who already know these principles.

I got the book for my daughter, she's a manager. It turns out that she is already doing most of the things described, but there were some suggestions relating to difficult employees that was useful . It did broaden her knowledge and gave her more confidence in her job . It would be helpful to anyone stepping into a managerial position.

Used it for our leadership retreat - very practical stuff and recommend for all boss folks

Great complement to Traction by the same author. I’m going to use this as I implement EOS and continue to work to earn the title “boss” on a team of A Players.

Good content and a quick read! Great for anyone on an EOS journey or just wanting to be a better boss!

overall a good read. Only negative, it seems designed to get you to use their larger program which would be a large purchase. But I did think it was worth it overall.

In a world of complicated management texts, this book is fantastically simple to grasp and has practical tools to implement. Anyone contemplating a cultural challenge in their organisation should consider this read.

Great leadership book!

Book as described and excellent condition

O ponto negativo do livro é que é em inglês, então quem não tem intimidade com a língua pode não aproveitar muito, porém não precisa ser fluente, o livro não usa termos técnicos e já seguindo a linha de Gino Wickman, ele usa uma linguagem simples e objetiva, o que facilita a leitura para os que tem inglês intermediário e avançado. O livro já começa quebrando uma barreira minha sobre o termo chefe, eu que não gostava muito de ser chamado assim, passei a ter simpatia, originário do holandês. “Baas” é usado para a pessoa que está liderando como uma forma de respeito. Mas veja que ele é usado pelo liderado e não pelo líder. Você pode se chamar de gerente, diretor, presidente, mas não de chefe, isso cabe ao seu liderado te identificar como tal. Leitura para todos os gestores. Iniciantes irão tirar ótimos aprendizados. Experientes se não tiver aprendizados, com certeza gostarão da leitura para reforçar alguns valores e encontrar um pouco de combustível para realizar essa desafiadora missão de liderar. Ótima leitura!!!

"How to Be a Great Boss" is a clear, practical guide that breaks down leadership into simple, actionable steps. It’s especially helpful for managers looking to build trust, accountability, and a healthy team culture without getting lost in theory. The book focuses on communication, expectations, and consistent follow-through—key areas many leaders overlook. It's a quick read but full of insights you can apply immediately. Great for both new and experienced bosses who want to lead with clarity and purpose.
