It seems that all too often, bosses get a bum rap from their employees. But why?
This hour, we talk to management expert Bruce Tulgan about his new book, The 27 Challenges Managers Face: Step-by-step Solutions to (Nearly) All of Your Management Problems. We learn about some of the challenges managers come up against in the workplace, and find out some of the best ways to handle them.
A little later, public radio extraordinaire Ira Glass joins us to preview his show "Three Acts, Two Dancers, One Radio Host." It’s coming to the Yale Repertory Theater later this month. He tells us about his inspiration to combine radio and dance -- two seemingly disparate art forms -- into one performance.
GUESTS:
- Bruce Tulgan - Founder and CEO of Rainmaker Thinking, Inc. in New Haven; author of The 27 Challenges Managers Face: Step-by-step Solutions to (Nearly) All of Your Management Problems
- Ira Glass - Host and creator of This American Life
