I was trolling through my wall this morning and this post caught my attention. It’s not often the boss gets this type of accolade in the office, let alone on a social network. After reading it I was intrigued to know a little more; so I did a quick interview with the lady that posted this public show of affection for her Boss. Now I don’t know Jocelyn Taylor, but she must be doing something right in her management style. That’s what’s up because, in the quest for success many managers forget that it’s not just about them, but that the team is their most valuable resource.
