Do you feel you don't have enough time to manage your people?

Do you avoid interacting with some employees because you hate the dreaded confrontations that often follow?

Do you have some great employees you really cannot afford to lose?

Do you secretly wish you could be more in control but don't know where to start?

Managing people is harder and more high-pressure today than ever before. There's no room for downtime, waste, or inefficiency. You have to do more with less. And employees have become high maintenance. Not only are they more likely to disagree openly and push back, but they also won't work hard for vague promises of long-term rewards. They look to you--their immediate boss--to help them get what they need and want at work.

How do you tackle this huge management challenge? If you are like most managers, you take a hands-off approach. You empower employees by leaving them alone, unless they really need you. After all, you don't want to micromanage them and don't have the time to hold every employee's hand. Of course, problems always come up and often snowball into bigger problems. In fact, you probably spend too much of your time solving problems and falling behind on your work . . . which leaves even less time for managing people . . . which opens the door for even more problems

In It's Okay to Be the Boss, Bruce Tulgan puts his finger on the biggest problem in corporate America--an undermanagement epidemic affecting managers at all levels of the organization and in all industries--and offers another way. His clear, step-by-step guide to becoming the strong manager employees need challenges bosses everywhere to spell out expectations, tell employees exactly what to do and how to do it, monitor and measure performance constantly, and correct failure quickly and reward success even more quickly. Now that's how you set employees up for success and help them earn what they need. Tulgan opens our eyes to the undisciplined workplace that is overwhelming managers and frustrating workers and invites bosses everywhere to accept the sacred responsibility of managing people. His message: It's okay to be the boss. Be a great one

Runs small; size up!
Size: Large, Color: (648) Prime Pink / / White
Nice! Size up! I ordered a large and it fits great! I'm 8-10, medium in everything else so I thank previous comments saying it runs small. It was quite comfortable, but if it is moisture wicking, I sure couldn't tell!

Comfortable
Size: Small, Color: Blue Atlantis/Washed Navy
Is super comfortable, it has removable pads. The color is beautiful (blue). Is like a medium support, but is keeps them in place! Would be buying more.

Not My Favorite
Size: X-Large, Color: (401) Team Royal / / Black
I am on the fence with this product. I generally love Under Armour clothing, and the color is great. It fits well, too. But this sports bra has removable pads in it, and when I went to wash it, they got all turned around. The way you take out the pads and put them back in is pretty narrow, so it’s kind of hard to do. So I tried stitching them in place, but that didn’t work, they still got lumpy. Finally I just pulled them out and I use the sports bra without the padding. I suppose I should’ve just pulled the padding out each time I washed it, but it seems to me they need washing too? I don’t think I would buy this again.
