A companion piece to the earlier Managing Newsroom Employees, this report focuses on being a better boss, hiring wisely, motivating people and effecting change. The best bosses are honest and consistent, can communicate a vision and mission, are good listeners and have organizational and planning skills. One key to motivating employees is hiring self-motivated people. There also are tips on how managers can overcome resistance to change.
