About this listen
Over 37.4 million Americans are expected to quit their job in 2022. If you want to prevent your staff from being a part of this stat, keep reading.
According to Marcus Buckingham, the world's most prominent researcher on strengths and leadership at work, “People leave managers, not companies.” So who are the types of managers that people will stick around for?
What if building a thriving, motivated team didn’t come by accident? What if there were simple, reproducible practices that would move your department or organization in the right direction? What if you could be more than just another boss in your team’s life? What if you could be a leader that your team loves to follow?
In More Than a Boss, you will discover…
- Five strategies for managing yourself (hint: not just your time).
- Seven shortcuts for knowing your team.
- One tool that will motivate nearly any team member.
- What the most popular TED Talks have in common.
- The one tool managers utilize that makes a lifelong impact, while actually saving time.
- When the best time to fire a staff member is (hint: it’s before you hire).
- How more accountability could actually improve the working environment.
This is an audiobook about the basics. I won’t tell you how to become CEO or double your salary, but if your hope is to become the boss that you would have wanted, this is the audiobook for you.
While this can be a great tool for veteran managers, it is designed to be accessible for anyone, especially first-time managers. The language, examples, and tools will relate to you whether you have a team of two or 200. Your team may not even consist of paid staff. Most of my experience with these tools has been working with volunteers in the non-profit world.

More than a Boss is about becoming more than just a designated leader. I have had several administrators and school principals in nearly two decades as a teacher. Good leadership is more than a title and giving orders. Outstanding leadership is becoming more than a boss who leads others to do their best because they want to do it. Great leaders attract great people. In this audiobook, the author shares about six strategic tools for leadership within an organization. In the Marines, leaders stressed always knowing their Marines. The same holds when you lead and become more than just a boss. When you get off focus, turn this on and listen to it to recharge your batteries. Keep a copy in your desk drawer.
Empowerment is more than a boss.
