Being the Boss
By Linda A. Hill and Kent Lineback
Becoming a great leader and manager is a journey, and it's not an easy one, write Linda A. Hill and Kent Lineback, authors of Being the Boss.To help new and experienced managers successfully achieve the jour- ney to great leadership, Hill and Lineback present what they call the "three imperatives" of management and leadership: managing yourself, managing your network and managing your team.

In today's work environment, this approach rarely produces compliance and certainly not commitment. Another approach is the "let's be friends" approach, which can also be ineffective. Managers need to develop working rela- tionships even with those they don't like and they need to keep some distance with those they do like.
