Peter Economy is a best-selling business author, ghostwriter, developmental editor, and publishing consultant with more than 100 books to his credit (and more than 3 million copies sold). Peter’s book ‘Managing For Dummies’ sold more than 600,000 copies, and his latest book is Wait, I’m the Boss?!? – published in March 2020 by Career Press. He is The Leadership Guy on Inc.com and for more than a decade served as Associate Editor for Leader to Leader magazine—published by the Frances Hesselbein Leadership Forum in New York City. According to Gallup, bad bosses are the #1 reason why employees quit their jobs. I personally believe the reason why there are so many bad bosses is because they haven’t learned how to be good bosses. Most companies don’t train managers to be managers — they simply promote someone into the position and hope for the best. This is not a very effective approach. I wrote my book Wait, I’m the Boss?!? to provide new (and existing) managers with all the tools they need to be great managers. Join us as we discuss the tools managers need to be great managers.
