Short description
In searching for the best bosses in America, author Dale Dauten discovered something he never predicted--many gifted bosses have considerable turnover in their staffs. Tradition says that workers stay when they like their boss. However, the reality is that great bosses are constantly "de-hiring" (helping employees either rise to excellence or move to a job where they can). The end result is what Dauten calls "effortless leadership," resulting in happier, self-managing employees, a happier boss, and stronger, more effective teams. (Great) Employees Only presents Dauten's research and shows readers the right way to hire and de-hire, creating a culture that the best employees yearn to be part of.
