I really enjoyed this book. As a fairly new manager, I've had to learn some tough lessons. This book helped me understand that my concerns are absolutely normal, and ways to handle them!

As a new manager who was provided with ZERO training or mentorship, I found this book incredibly useful. It tackles everything from motivating your employees (and yourself) to handling uncomfortable or tough situations (including if you find yourself having to "manage" your friends) to even "managing up" (aka handling your boss). Pacheco explains each topic in a few different ways and often includes tables, graphs or even cartoons to help explain, which made it easier to digest.

This book provides a lot of great insight into being a first-time manager and developing the skills necessary to manager in various industries and cultures.

‘Bringing up the Boss’ offers insightful and valuable information on managing a workplace. The book advises readers with different approaches and managing styles that can make any workplace a successful one. However, at times the information can seem a bit boring and repetitive

When you write a book from your heart and soul, bring value to every page and share the knowledge that other may apply, this is what you hold on your hands. This book has a great strict and a well balanced practical advice combined with theory of management. It can be recommended to any manager from a well established company to a start up. I have learned a lot of wisdom from this book.
