N2  - At one time or another, almost everyone is a boss. Parents are seen as bosses. So are spouses, teachers, and employers. All the way up the ladder, somebody usually bosses somebody else, or at least wants to boss them. As one seven-year-old said, "Mom, I wish you'd have another baby quick. I'm tired of emptying the garbage. If there was someone else in this family, I'd boss them around and tell them to do it!"  I firmly believe that everyone wants to be an OK boss.    This book will show how to become one using the techniques of Transactional Analysis (TA), a clear, reasonable theory that can be applied immediately. TA offers a fresh way of looking at the traditional functions of bosses -setting goals, reducing conflict, establishing priorities, increasing productivity, and coping with crisis.    Also, TA will help you and others enjoy life more, both on and off the job.This book will also increase your awareness of what it takes to become an OK boss
