Got a spirit-crushing boss? Well so does Lauren Johnson - five of them. Based on true stories of bosses' political maneuverings and workers under siege, The Boss tells Lauren's story - a talented but naive professional struggling under a self-serving, insensitive boss who undermines her at every turn. And working around her boss doesn't help - most of the company execs are ineffective in their own right. Lauren just wants to get her job done, but every manager throws up one more needless hurdle. Disturbing, amusing, and wry, the story progresses as Lauren is forced to upwardly manage the brownnoser, the backstabber, the micromanager, the passive-aggressive, the bully, and the idea stealer. Forced into a final decision, Lauren must fight back or have her spirit crushed.

Most of us have had a bad boss at sometime. Consequences range from minor annoyances to health issues to life or death. The author takes true stories of stand alone cases from big company environments and identifies bad boss behaviors. He looks at serious cases -- cheating, lying, discriminating, stealing, cultural diversity, gender and even religion related problems. Also intricately planned unfairness. Some are contrary to what one is accustomed to reading. Each case focuses on a snapshot or a moving account that exemplifies a boss behavior -- like an unauthorized biography. Some are under the radar of the higher leadership -- some are in line. The cases play out in the longer term. Facts in each case are analyzed. A case might have a simple solution except for the reluctance to discuss taboos or politically incorrect issues. While there is no condoning bad bosses, there may be identifiable (treatable) reasons -- such as the case of the boss with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and others. See if you would come to the same conclusions. See if you agree with the actions taken by the players. See what you would do if faced with any of these situations.

Your path to becoming a great manager starts here. From announcing your promotion to planning your next one, from solving your workers' problems to dealing with your own stress, a leading management expert tells you, in advance, what is ahead.

Part 3 // Scene 15 to 21 Relations between the deceased employee and the ruthless team leader were initially friendly. Insults, breaches of trust and despair then led to an extreme turn of events.
