Good Boss, Bad Boss is already shipping in paperback at Amazon, today is the official publication date.  It has a new red cover (which I like, I hope it isn't too intense for you) and a new chapter, an Epilogue called "What Great Bosses Do: Lessons I've l Learned Since Writing Good Boss, Bad Boss."  Fast Company already published an excerpt from the new chapter on power poisoning and will be publishing more snippets in the coming weeks. 

This all got me thinking about Good Boss, Bad Boss, about all the fun I had fretting over and talking with people about ideas in the book, and about lots of others ideas about bosses too, since the book was first published in September, 2010.  In doing so, I looked back on some of the most popular posts and related stories on bosses.  These include:

1. Being a Good Boss is Pretty Damn Hard — Reflections on Publication Day

2. Lessons from Nightmare (and Dream) Bosses — INC Interview

3. How to Be a Good Boss — by Matt May

4. When the Shit Hits the Fan, Women are Seen as Better Bosses than Men

5. Drinking at Work — It's not all bad — a piece for Cnn.Com

6. Is it Sometimes Rationally to Select Leaders Randomly?

7. Clueless and Comical Bosses: Please Help Me With Examples

8. A Cool Neurological Explanation for the Power of Small Wins

9. How a Few Bad Apples Can Ruin Everything — a Wall Street Journal piece I wrote

10. What are Good Things About Having a Lousy Boss?

11. Pixar Lore: The Day Our Bossses Saved Our Jobs — at HBR.org

12. David Kelley on Love and Money

I could have added a lot more — let me know which ones you like, which ones you don't form the above list, and which ones I should have added from the past six years or so I've been writing Work Matters. Thanks so much for everything

    My wife needs to get this book into the hands of her boss. We have all had experiences with the good and bad boss. It is the latter that has led me to do what I now do. I now know what not to do as a boss and how to treat the people around you. We all do these things for money and money comes from people,

    Woman do make better bosses, they are more compassionate and understanding. I find the biggest obstacle I face is acceptance by some male counterparts who still struggle with being directed by a woman and especially a younger one.
