About The Book

“Sage advice about how to bring out the best in others—and yourself.” —Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and Hidden Potential

Become the boss everyone wants to work for in this must-read guide from top executive coach Sabina Nawaz.

Whether you’re an executive or newly promoted to manager, you’re most likely succeeding at your job, but may wonder if you are reaching your full potential as a boss. Most top performers suspect they aren’t, and Sabina Nawaz, former Microsoft executive and elite Fortune 500 coach, says they’re usually right. But it’s often hard to recognize the problem or know how to address it.

Nawaz taps her experience and proprietary data from executives at Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Motorola, Nordstrom, the United Nations, and more, to offer managers everything they need to know to succeed at the job. Her work reveals that as our job expands, the added pressure to perform can cause us to act out of character, and our increased power can blind us to the impact of those actions. Even the most well-intentioned manager can quickly become the boss nobody wants to work for.

You’re the Boss is your executive coach. It offers a fresh, evidence-based framework for managing pressure and power with grace and intelligence. These proven strategies guide you to anticipate the unavoidable hazards of leadership without changing who you are. Discover a powerful new way to manage yourself and others to become the boss you want to be—and others need.
