Dolly Chugh, a professor at NYU Stern School of Business, believes that good bosses are made not born, and, in this book, she delivers a structured approach to mastering transformative leadership skills that separate Good Bosses from Default Bosses.
Drawing on research from social psychology, organisational behaviour, and behavioural economics, The Good Boss Project offers an actionable roadmap for managers at all levels, whether they are new to leadership, experienced executives or aspiring bosses. Structured around the 3W framework – Work, Weather and Wisdom – Chugh equips readers with a clear path to improving their skills and the bottom line. Based on the bold idea that leadership can be a profound force for impact, she demonstrates that managing people can be a meaningful and meaning-giving pursuit.
With the increasing demand for purpose in the workplace, The Good Boss Project arrives at a critical moment. Studies show that 58% of young professionals report feeling a lack of purpose in their careers. This book speaks directly to that need, offering an essential guide for managers who want to do better-for their teams, their business, and for themselves.

Reviews
Dolly Chugh offers a hopeful, practical vision of management as sacred work: the daily opportunity to grow people, strengthen performance, and build a legacy that lasts. Through case studies of exceptional managers, Chugh explains how to coach instead of rescue, give feedback that fuels growth and lead through stress and crisis. Filled with stories and immediately useful tools, this is both a pep-talk and a playbook for becoming the boss talented people want to work for.
It's confusing, challenging, and delightful being a boss. This book will help you avoid the thousands of mistakes you can make. Read it, and become someone's favourite boss.
