" Easy in Harness is an insightful, first-hand perspective of the ripple effects of leadership style, both positive and negative. This book has provided me with many ideas that I have taken to heart and directly to the workplace." - Sue Roberts, Mississippi Veterans Administration, Former Chief of Staff Flawed management is a pervasive issue that has a greater impact than even its substantial financial implications for companies and employees. It permeates the very fabric of our society, helping to define the overall character and well-being of our individuals, organizations, customs, and institutions. In Easy in Harness by Alan Cohen, the dire consequences of flawed management are discreetly delineated. Employees often recount tales of vindictive and abusive bosses, to whom they attribute responsibility for toxic work environments, downsizing, job relocations, strained relationships, health problems, and sleepless nights. Yet employees generally deem such ordeals unavoidable, inevitable "woes of the workplace." However, Cohen takes a constructive approach to addressing workplace dysfunction. He provides pragmatic insight into its primary causes and presents a range of relatively simple yet effective solutions to foster better relationships between management and employees. Easy in Harness provides a practical and perceptive guide to help organizations identify, hire, and develop competent managers who can steer companies toward success. By implementing these strategies businesses, free of the shackles of flawed management, can forge a path toward a brighter future.

In the intricate tapestry of corporate success, the individuals driving a company forward serve as its defining threads. Leadership, often seated at the pinnacle, can steer an organization either toward a harmonious, flourishing future or into a desolate landscape of dispassion. Easy in Harness offers a compelling exploration into the pitfalls of imperfect leadership and management in today's work environments.
Drawing from many real-life accounts, this book underscores the challenges many professionals face under the shadow of inadequate leadership. Among these is the poignant tale of a college friend who, having been thrust into an atmosphere of intimidation by a shift in leadership, opted for early retirement. Another account recalls the author's personal experience at an Ivy League University health plan, which witnessed a decline in harmony and satisfaction due to a change at the helm.
Alan J. Cohen captures the essence of these experiences with a writing style that is both descriptive and informative. He draws upon factual and relatable real-world examples to reinforce his arguments. Through a lens that is both reflective and analytical, Cohen expresses deep empathy for the individuals who have grappled with professional tribulations.
Easy in Harness commences with a deep dive into the ramifications of dysfunctional leadership for those who endure it. The narrative artfully unpacks the resultant feelings of mistrust, disillusionment, and waning job satisfaction. Cohen's authoritative voice, seasoned by personal experience, offers a holistic view of the subject. By weaving in anecdotes from diverse professions and sectors, including his own, he crafts a narrative that many will find both touching and relatable.
The book follows a logical trajectory, exploring the impacts of subpar leadership on employee well-being before dissecting the topic layer by layer. This systematic progression ensures an engaging reader experience, enhanced by the timely relevance of the subject matter in modern workspaces.
Easy in Harness stands as a beacon of clarity, authenticity, and meticulous dissection of workplace dynamics. It is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking insights into the repercussions of flawed leadershipâ�"ranging from high employee turnover and plummeting morale to potential health ramifications.
