"A liberating read that will cause you to act in your own best interests and the best interests of everyone working within your sphere of influence." —John Hoover, New York Times–bestselling author of How to Work for an Idiot
The number one reason cited in exit interviews for an employee quitting is "my manager." This can be for multiple reasons—including one that many managers and executives aren't even aware of: Today's employees simply don't respond to the old hands-on, militaristic management styles. They are highly independent, individual professionals with their own fully developed ideas. Leaders and managers who try to micromanage them will inevitably confront widespread disgruntlement, absenteeism, and turnover . . . and increase their own and their employees' stress levels.
The Hands-Off Manager offers a new vision for all managers. With stories, examples, and activities for the reader to practice, this book shows any manager—new or seasoned—how to coach and mentor employees rather than hover over their shoulders and goad them into action. In this system, each employee's strength is honored and honed in a climate of partnership and mutual goal-setting—a powerful ingredient for organizational growth and success.
