Supervisor, Manager, Leader; The Basics of Being a Boss: A common sense approach to the critical skills that most organizations fail to teach their people

This is a great book if your looking for a birds eye view on being a boss. It's an easy read and the workbook style note taking sections, assists readers to learn thier own organization. I particularly enjoyed the chapter on "Leadership".Mike Kraus's Fire Service experience really shines through in that chapter. All in all, this is a wonderful book to dive into the often overlooked but vital aspects of being in charge.

Bought this to help myself in my current position as an account manager and supervisor. This is a great book to get the basic essentials of managing.

I like the book because it will help me understand.

A good read. Easy to follow guide to becoming a better supervisor, manager or leader.

- practical examples on how to motivate you and your team- easy to read- nice core values- it is a must for new leaders (or those who are trying to be one!)

Great book. Simple and straightforward explanations of leadership concepts applied in the real world. I have been working to apply what Chief Kraus outlines in this book and have been getting very positive feedback on my leadership from both my supervisor and my subordinates.

Leadership in the fire service is of the utmost importance. Chief Kraus makes reading and applying his concepts easy and reflective. A must read for anyone trying to make themselves better for their department.
