It's been said that a good leader brings out the best in people, while a great leader helps people become something greater than they'd ever imagined they could be. Bad leaders, on the other hand, are said to be nothing but trouble: mean, cruel, twisted, creatures that make the workplace a living hell for everyone. That may all be true (we think that it us) but that doesn’t mean that we can't learn something useful from our bad bosses.

In Bob We Trust is the third collection of annotated leadership columns from Keil Hubert, the American correspondent for London-based Business Reporter. This book includes fully-annotated versions of 13 wryly humourous (with a U) 'Evil Bob' leadership stories from Business Technology and Business Reporter Online, along with in-depth lessons-learned at the end of each column regarding how to recognize, mitigate, and escape your own bad boss.

Finally, in order to keep it from being too darned depressing, Keil shares an inspirational story of a really great leader - one well worth emulating - in the original script he wrote for the last speech he gave to his troops at his military retirement ceremony. Yes, you can read all of the original columns Online, but the only place to listen to the supplementary content is here in this audiobook. That's got to be worth the cost of a pint, innit? Ta.
