Beyond the Book

Boss ≠ Bossy

• Carol Smith, CEO Elle Group, tells the following story about how managers need to win over their employees:

“In sixth grade, I was head of the project to create a mural for the graduating class to hang in the auditorium. That’s a big deal. I got a clipboard, I remember, and then I had all this power and I started bossing everyone around. And within days it was apparent that I was going to have a mutiny on my hands, and I was fired from the mural.”
