Cover of Jim Willis: A Practical Handbook for the Boss (ePUB)
Successful managers and leaders know that despite what many believe, things dont have to be bigger, faster, and more complicated to succeed.

In this practical guidebook for bosses, youll learn how to incorporate good old-fashioned values and common sense to help employees achieve goals. Examining how successful leaders overcome challenges will give you the knowledge you need to:

inspire confidence in others by being consistent;
consider policies before implementing them;
communicate with employees instead of harassing them;
promote positive attitudes in the workplace.

The guide is small enough to carry with you and includes space throughout so you can write down what type of leader you want to be, what positive attributes will improve your chances of success, what negative traits are holding you back, and more.

As you learn management strategies, youll be able to reflect back and apply what youve learned to build better relationships with employees and get them excited about achieving business goals.


Our world today expects everything to be bigger, longer, faster and more complicated to be successful. We often have the misguided idea that it has to be those things in order to be good. Nothing can be farther from the truth! The problem with this is most people dont have time to jump through all the hoops that many professionals expect in order to be seen as successful. Its time that we got back to some good, old-fashioned values when it comes to supervising other people. A Practical Handbook for the Boss is a short, easy to read handbook that is small enough to carry with you and allows you to be a part of the publication by including your own ideas and successes as an administrator. In other words, it helps you see your own successes and builds on them. Hopefully, it will help you be more sensitive to your employees, more focused on your goals, happier in your personal life, and be a better boss.

About the author

Jim Willis rose to the rank of staff sergeant in the U.S. Air Force and retired as a master sergeant from the Air Force Reserves after nineteen years. He then became an intermediate paramedic and an emergency department technician and scrub technician in surgery. He’s retired and lives near Norman, Oklahoma.

After graduation from high school in 1971, Jim Willis joined the Air Force and got out four years later as a Staff Sergeant. He continued to stay in the Air Force Reserves for the next 19 years, retiring as a Master Sergeant. The main reason for getting out of the military was to go to college, where he earned a BSEd in Elementary Education, a MSEd in Reading, and Certification above his Masters in Elementary Administration all at the University of Oklahoma. Jim spent the next 13 years in the classroom in two different districts. He was able to begin his career in administration after that, becoming an Elementary Administrator, where he spent the next 13 years in the same school district. Retiring from education, but not retiring from life, Jim went back and got his National Registry Certification and is currently working in a small Oklahoma community Emergency Medical Service as an Intermediate Paramedic.
