The Amazon Best Seller that teaches regular people how to lead effectively to maximize the performance of their team.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is an easy read with many really important ideas that can take an average manager to a new level by a relatively easy few steps.

Engagement Makes a Difference to the Bottom Line

Engaged workers are critical to their organizations. Engaged workers have significantly higher productivity, profitability, and customer ratings, less turnover and absenteeism, and fewer safety incidents.

Managers and Leaders Play a Critical Role

Gallup has found that good managers who focus on their employees’ strengths can practically eliminate active disengagement and improve the profitability of their organizations.

Different Type of Workers Require Different Engagement Strategies

The generations at the beginning and approaching the end of their careers tend to be more engaged than those in the middle of their careers. In addition, Millennials tend to be less engaged and female workers tend to be more engaged.

Engagement Is a Better Predictor of Job Performance Than Other Policies

Engagement levels trump policies such as hours worked, flextime, and vacation time in prediction of company performance. Only 22% of U.S. employees are engaged and thriving in their overall lives which leads to poor company performance.

Most Employees are Not Prepared to Engage Customers

Engagement levels among service employees are among the lowest of any occupation Gallup measured while engagement for every other job category increased.

What Can Be Done to Improve a Company's Ability to Thrive?

Buy a bad boss a Christmas gift that will make a difference. Improve a bad managers management skills by sending him or her this fascinating new book by Best Selling author Greg L. Alston.

The Book is titled, The BossHole Effect, Three Simple Steps Anyone Can Follow to Become A Great Boss and Lead A Successful Team.

While the Gallup organization has done an exhaustive job to define the issue of employee disengagement, Dr. Alston has done a masterful job of reducing the steps to becoming a great boss down to a series of ten jargon free, easy to read chapters, that provide practical strategies for creating an engaged team of employees.

Limited Time Special Christmas Offer

The book which is available in both paperback and kindle versions. Purchasers can download a special letter from Santa Claus to include as a note with the gift. This colorful Note from Santa will tell the manager who receives the gift.

"My Elves Tell Me That You Haven’t Been as Good to Your Employees as You Should Have Been this Year. Rather Than Send You a Lump of Coal, I Am Sending You This Book to Help Get You On to The Right Path for Next Year. Merry Christmas, Santa"

Download this letter directly from the author's website at The Christmas Letter.

Employees worried about retaliation from a boss who is a bully can use this letter to anonymously leave the gift under the tree at the office Christmas party.
