Managing a Remarkable Boss

Chapter 6 in Behind the Executive Door, 2012, pp 75-96 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Putting any faith-based notions aside, Wilson Goode’s new boss is Remarkable if we consider him metaphorically through the lens of business leadership. Foremost, he is an all empowering boss who does not dictate, micromanage, or criticize. Despite even the most demanding business conditions, he remains accessible for conversation and emotional support any time, day, or night. Despite the mistakes, missed deadlines, mediocre results, or other failings of his direct reports, his respect and affection for them is stolidly unconditional. Transparent and open to scrutiny, he is less ego and more celebrant not just of the success of his employees but of their contentment, peace, and faith in the future. His relationships with the people who “report” to him are enduring and reciprocal.
