It's Okay To Be The Boss By Bruce Tulgan Bruce Tulgan says the real issue in organizational leadership today is not micromanagement, but undermanagement. When I read this secular book with church eyes, I see an acute issue with senior leaders in churches not being willing to manage those who work for them. For one thing the workplace and the church have come to view management as some less-than-desired task that real leaders avoid because they are busy leading. Tulgan puts a whole new spin on management in the book. The inside jacket cover asks these questions. I argue virtually every pastor has asked them. Do you feel you don't have enough time to manage your people? Do you avoid interacting with some employees because you hate the dreaded confrontations that often follow? Do you have some great employees you really cannot afford to lose? Do you secretly wish you could be more in control but don't know where to start? This book is a step-by-step guide to becoming the manager your staff and pastors need. Yes, you are the leader. However, you still need to manage staff to their highest level of performance to the mission of the church. You will learn to talk like a performance coach, set expectations and track performance. Accountability will become a real process at your church. You'll do more for some people and less for others. It works. Has anyone ever told you to stop micromanaging? I am telling you to get your fingers in the pie and help your staff guys and gals be the best they can be. It's a good thing to manage well. It's okay to be the boss!
