Fifty shades of boss

Are you, as the boss, grasping at straws to manage your subordinates? Is your career going nowhere because of the way you manage yourself and other people? Are you part of an organisation where bosses and their subordinates do not pull in the same direction and fail to meet ever-rising expectations?

Do you think your boss is the reason you hate your job? Is office politics preventing you from fulfilling your potential?

When the Boss Is Wrong will help bosses, subordinates and organisations find the answers to these questions and many more. In this book, Sibichen K. Mathew draws from his rich academic and professional experience to deftly delineate the ‘Fifty Shades of the Boss’ to create unique prescriptions for the ‘wrong’ bosses, and precautions and solutions for their ‘suffering’ subordinates. Written in a racy and jargon-free style peppered with humorous anecdotes and cartoons this book is an invaluable companion for anyone who is part of an organisation.

Facing crisis

Mid-career crisis is the most common dilemma faced by professionals in any field. A look into the career graphs of successful people inadvertently raises questions like how are they different from their peers? Why do just a handful of people achieve success in their careers while a majority gets stuck in the rut of mediocrity and stagnation?

It is these questions that Partha Sarathi Basu takes up in this book that acquaints the reader with mid-career crisis concerns illustrated through different stories so that he doesn’t repeat the same mistakes. Basu draws upon years of leadership experience in the corporate world to provide insights that will help one face this crisis.
