Good Intentions Beat Evil Twins

from What Great Bosses Know Hosted by Poynter Institute

Poynter's leadership expert Jill Geisler often warns managers that they have an "Evil Twin" who gets in the way of their success. That twin is born of misperceptions of a manager's actions. In today's podcast, Jill looks at a recent study about the perception of good intentions, and the amazing effect it has on people. She shares specific advice for bosses who want to banish their Evil Twins -- and how to tell their own bosses when they may need to do a little banishing act, too. Jill Geisler's new book: "Work Happy: What Great Bosses Know" hits bookstores and online sellers on June 5.
