My blogs
| Introduction | I used to run a staff survey company. I surveyed staff in organisations of all sizes, finding out exactly what their managers could be doing better. This blog is based on that knowledge. You can get the full, unabridged + uncensored story by buying my book 'The Boss Benchmark' at www.allison-oneill.com Kevin Roberts, Worldwide CEO of Saatchi & Saatchi did. He ordered 45 copies for his international senior management team! ‘The Boss Benchmark’ is a 150 page book (available in hardcopy or e-book) detailing the 35 ‘better management practices’ you need to master if you want to be a great boss. It’s not just a management checklist. You’ll learn from a discussion of each practice + see how it applies to the real world with real workplace stories. |
