How to be a great Boss is the best of a series of books we read as we were implementing EOS. That was a great read. As was The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, The Four Obsessions of a Extraordinary Executive, Good to Great and Traction. We have implemented many of principals out of these books and life has been much, much easier for our whole team but especially our management team.

Have any of your managers ask you to track every single hour you spent? It’s been pain of me for a long time. 1) sometimes I forget what exactly have I done for the day to reach 8. 2) some tasks take more time than managers’ expectation due to follow up, investigating, etc. and if you put more hours than then expected, they will then ask why.
