I got a note from Julia Kirby at HBR a few days back that my list of "12 Things Good Bosses Believe" has been the most popular post at HBR.Org in 2010 — a list based on ideas from Good Boss, Bad Boss.
Here is Jimmy Guterman's list of the Top 10 posts at HBR in 2010:
- 12 Things Good Bosses Believe

I am pleased and also somewhat embarrassed because, well, I haven't quite finished the post yet! I promised to write detailed posts on all 12 ideas listed, but I only made it through the first 10. I will finish in the next couple weeks, or at least I hope to, as life keeps happening while I make other plans (as that lovely old saying goes).
