Palm Beach Gardens, FL (PRWEB) November 2, 2010 -- As the CEO of Global Strategic Management Solutions (GSMS), Dr. Doreen McGunagle states, “Our commitment is to develop the best possible training tools for leaders and those involved in effective organization development.” GSMS conducted a survey in which we asked participants two simple yet revealing questions, What are the characteristics of a good boss? What are the characteristics of a bad boss? The responses were candid and have served as the framework for an eBook we are offering as a free download at our company website.
Good Boss – Bad Boss: Lessons from Effective and Not-So Effective Managers takes a candid look at from the inside out, what it takes to be a good manger, effective habits, and attitude that lead to ineffective management. The eBook is divided into three main of keys to positive management development, each built on the foundation of answers given in our survey. Included are insights on leadership from the viewpoint of communication, character, and leadership skills.
Communication
Good Boss – Bad Boss emphasizes the fact that most employees and mid-level managers see communication as a primary emphasis. Bosses who come across as not hearing the people beneath them do not command the respect necessary to boldly move forward as a business. As one respondent put it: A bad boss is a “an ego maniac, elitist, self-centered know-it-all, my-way or the highway kind of person who expects others to give loyalty and commitment when that is not returned and who creates not only poor morale but fear as well as someone who has to be right and make all of the decisions.” That’s one giant run on sentence that paints are pretty graphic picture of a workplace where communication is not taking place.
Character
A surprising number of respondents to our survey concentrated on the character of their boss more than his or her leadership skills. Employees, it seems, will forgive a host of managerial ineptitudes before they will a boss they sense is a basically bad person. Managers don’t have to be perfect people, no one is, but employees expect them to at least strive toward what every decent human being ought to strive for.
Leadership Skills
One of the most often heard complaints among energetic employees is how little time and investment is made in equipping them to do their job. Good employees want their bosses to invest in their training and leadership development. As one survey respondent says in the eBook: “A good boss is primarily a leader; somebody with the ability to establish a vision and a mission for the team, and then is capable to motivate, provide guidance and mentorship, remove ambiguity, and work together with reports and other business partners to achieve common goals, while maintaining appropriate ethical and conduct levels, and keeping a good sense of humor and professionalism.”
“Our research shows that engaged employees can increase their financial position by almost 200% while disengaged employees can decrease your financial position by almost 25%,” states Dr. McGunagle. The survey discusses key drivers for engaged employees. To get the eBook click here and use the insights revealed there to take your leadership management to a whole new level. Take a self assessment to see how your organization stacks up.

What’s the difference between a good boss and a bad one? Ask anyone working in a company, you’ll get a lot of different answers. Yet, there are striking similarities in people’s descriptions of good and bad bosses.
The best bosses are those who are trustworthy, empathic and who connect with us. They are emotionally intelligent. They make us feel calm, appreciated and inspired.
The worst bosses are distant, difficult and arrogant. They make us feel uneasy, at best, and resentful, at worst.
At the end of this post you’ll find a link to my survey to weigh in on the question, “What’s the difference between a good boss and a bad one?” I hope you’ll use the link to tell me what you think is important for managers who don’t want to be perceived as a jerk.
Share your comments in our survey, we look forward to your input.

For Immediate Release
Palm Beach Gardens, FL (PRWEB) September 30, 2010 --
As the CEO of Global Strategic Management Solutions (GSMS), Dr. McGunagle understands the challenges that most CEOs have in running a healthy organization. However, she is amazed at the number of leaders that tell her they have not looked at how the organizational culture impacts their strategy. A new whitepaper released by GSMS, however, helps CEOs learn how changes in company culture impact business strategies.
Today, organizations must change their strategy to meet the demands of the business environment. Formulating new strategies can be necessary to either protect competitive position or to take advantage of new opportunities. Changes in technology, regulations, and customer needs are some of the external forces that can require reflection on one’s current small business processes. Hiring the right people and retaining top talent are the internal forces that can impact the effectiveness of the organization. To be successful in the business market, inevitability, at some point, organizations must make changes or risk the possibility of losing customers.
Dr. McGunagle has one goal in mind with all GSMS’ clients: promote and maintain healthy organizational culture. Her exclusive health plan can help improve all small business’ bottom-lines by improving the performance of the organization. Dr. McGunagle states, "GSMS provides Benchmark Performance reports that offer a unique opportunity for our clients to see that culture is the leading indicator and the financial metrics is a trailing indicator on the health of the organization."
One client, David Middleton with Intelligent Office, says it best: "The fact is organizational culture will kick your strategy in the butt every time."
Dr. McGunagle teaches some simple wisdom:
- Lack of trust within an organization can erode its profits quicker than any competitor.
- Net income can be improved simply by eliminating conflict in the workplace.
- Poor communications and employee morale will undoubtedly hurt an organization’s bottom-line.
