The Course

If you’re not managing your boss, you’re not managing your career

This course will teach you how to take control of the relationship with your boss so that you can use it to your advantage. This is a skill that no employer will teach you, but is absolutely critical to your professional development. Managing your boss is a subtle art and doing it successfully takes a different approach than most people imagine.

The course builds on Jim’s decades of experience training corporate executives at IBM. While at IBM, Jim studied with the legendary Peter Drucker, who is widely considered to be the founder or modern management and was one of the first to recognize the importance of this topic. Drucker’s advice to Jim about how to manage his own boss transformed his career at IBM and launched his lifelong preoccupation with helping others learn this ultimate secret to professional success.

After completing the course, every student will receive a one-on-one coaching session with Jim, which will help them to apply everything they have learned to their specific situation. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to learn directly from a world class expert.
