    I have permission from Berrett-Koehler Publishers, Inc. to distribute an
    excerpt from the new book, "Love 'Em or Lose 'Em: Getting Good People to
    Stay" by Beverly Kaye and Sharon Jordan-Evans. The excerpt I am
    distributing is from Chapter 10, "Jerk. Don't Be One."

    Are you the boss from hell? Did you know that talented people will leave
    any organization if they don't like their boss? Here's where you can take a
    look at the "Who Me, a Jerk?" behavior checklist and find out where you
    score. If you find some shocking results and sincerely would like to
    change, this excerpt will show you the way.

    Beverly Kaye and Sharon Jordan-Evans are friends, colleagues and coauthors
    of the new book, "Love 'Em or Lose 'Em: Getting Good People to Stay."
    Beverly
    is president of Career Systems International, a consulting and training
    company. Sharon serves as president of the Jordan Evans Group, a leadership
    consulting business. Both authors are passionate about the message in this
    book and their retention research and work.

    To get the excerpt, send mailto:excerpt@tenagra.com with the subject line,
    "Send Boss from Hell" and I will reply with a text file. If you'd like to
    talk to the
    coauthors, Beverly Kaye and Sharon Jordon-Evans, about their new book or
