Are you the boss?

“People don’t quit bad jobs, they quit bad bosses”

“Bosses matter far more for employee job satisfaction than any other factor…”

Small boosts in happiness produce a reliable 12% increase in productivity…


What quality matters most?

“The benefit of having a highly competent boss is easily the largest positive influence

on a typical worker’s level of job satisfaction.”
