The Boss - a novel

Andrew O'Keeffe, author of "The Boss", has been observing bosses for many years.
He's worked for bosses, and he's been a boss. As a senior human resources executive, Andrew has worked closely with a range of bosses in perse companies over his twenty-five year career. He was employed by an iconic computer company, a leading telecommunications company and a global professional services firm. Early in his career, he worked in industrial relations in the mining and manufacturing industries.

Andrew grew up in Broken Hill, Australia and studied economics, industrial relations and psychology at the University of Sydney. He lives in Sydney, Australia and consults in the human dimension of organisations.

While writing The Boss, Andrew talked to a large number of people. Almost everyone had their own boss story to tell, and people always told their stories with emotion - anger, frustration, hurt, despair, amazement, joy, humour. Some of those stories provided content for this book. There was plenty of material.
