The Good Boss
When it comes to a woman’s day-to-day experience and her career trajectory, one key player has the most significant impact: her boss. To truly support women in the workplace, managers, men included, need to step up.
“I would recommend that all managers – but especially managers who are men – read this book so that they can gain a better understanding of what their female employees face in the workplace on a daily basis.”
– Manhattan Book Review
“The Good Boss is a winner among the crowded genre of business-related literature. Even reading a portion of the book is sure to leave you a better leader than you were before it.”

,“The Good Boss is ultimately a winner among the crowded genre of business-related literature. Whether you take Walker’s advice to heart or not, even reading a portion of the book is sure to leave you a better leader than you were before it.”
Manhattan Book Review
,“I would recommend that all managers – but especially managers who are men – read this book so that they can gain a better understanding of what their female employees face in the workplace on a daily basis.”
The Globe and Mail
,“Guys, if you want to be a good boss or colleague for a woman, call her by her actual name. It’s not “dear,” or “sweetie” (or “young lady”). That’s Rule 1 in Kate Eberle Walker’s guide for men to be a better boss, and if it seems obvious to you please accept that the reason it’s on top of the PresenceLearning CEO’s list of nine rules is many men unknowingly create deep wounds by ignoring it.”
President of Hulu
,“The Good Boss is a much needed look into the powerful role a good boss can play in shaping the future workforce, full of relatable stories that felt all too familiar at times! My career wouldn’t be where it is without my bosses supporting me along the way, and this book will help create more good bosses for the next wave of high potential women.”
founder of iVillage
,“Kate is one of the most graceful leaders and bosses I know. She has had sustained leadership success in a challenging industry while raising a family. I can’t think of a better person to lead us forward. I so wished I had had this book, and that my bosses had had it as well–and that it could have taught me how to choose empowering bosses.”

,“With rich stories and practical, real-world scenarios that we can ALL follow, The Good Boss helps us all: from the workplace veteran struggling against antiquated norms to the new mom, to the boss struggling to help in each situation. The Good Boss should be required reading for all of us – to not only understand the potential landmines, but also how to navigate them with absolute aplomb.”
