Undercover Boss

Inside: This Week In Managing
Who wouldn't love to see the president of the company labor on the front lines just like the rank and file employees do? The CBS reality-TV show Undercover Boss fulfilled that fantasy for the nation. Now a book sheds more light on how the big shots felt about the whole experience. Please see Book Excerpt: Undercover Boss to read about the travails of 1-800-Flowers.com president Chris McCann, who appeared on the program earlier this year.

Are you fantasizing about getting a corner office--or gloating because you already have one? Maybe it's time to stop. This week, columnist Rick Wartzman makes a case for open work space for all, in The Wall-less Office.

Here's to egalitarianism in all career scenarios.
