Leading With Kindness
$19.99By now, many leaders have realized that when it comes to business, nice guys often finish first. Old-fashioned images of corporate callousness and greed have been replaced by a gentler, more human conception of great leadership. But how does one define “kindness” in the context of business? And what is the best way to “use” this deceptively complex notion as a guiding principle to lead an organization successfully into the future? Far from presenting a naive idea of kindness, this eye-opening book identifies the surprising attributes successful “kind” leaders share. Readers will learn how they can use kindness to: * motivate employees, committee members, and others * recognize unique talents while nurturing all employees * establish a supportive environment * spur continuous organizational growth * adapt to change * stimulate calculated “stretch” and risk-taking * prepare the next generation of leaders This realistic book shows leaders how they can use sincerity, honesty, and respect for the good of their organizations.

Tell Me How Im Doing
$15.99Just imagine being completely denied any feedback whatsoever — no guidance, no praise, and no constructive criticism for the things you do. If you received no input at all, how much initiative would you demonstrate? Would your productivity be high, or low? What would your morale be like as time went on? And if you experienced this kind of treatment in the workplace, how likely would you be to turn down a job offer to go somewhere else? The sad fact is that most of us take feedback for granted. But interpersonal feedback is a critical nutrient for everyone, whether at home, at work, or elsewhere — the psychological equivalent of food and water. Without strong, clear feedback to use as a reference point, people are incapable of functioning fully and productively. Yet as important as it is to let people know how they’re doing, most of us lack the skill to consistently deliver good, constructive feedback. Tell Me How I’m Doing illustrates the importance of feedback using a simple fable in which a beleaguered manager recognizes the enormous impact feedback can have in his organization-by experiencing firsthand what it feels like to go without it. The book then provides step-by-step guidance for how you can improve your own ability to relate to the people around you and become more effective in every sphere of your life. The book helps you take a personal inventory of your own feedback style, and introduces you to the four distinct types of feedback — supportive, corrective, abusive, and insignificant — and clarifies when to use the first two, and how to avoid the others. You’ll also learn about the ten essential dimensions of feedback, including how to: Use a Plan — Give your feedback some preparatory thought, and then deliver it with a clear solution in mind. Be Specific — Get your point across by citing particular examples of the behavior you’re discussing. Focus on Behaviors — Target the factors that can be seen or measured, rather than concentrating on personalities, attitudes, or labels. Determine Time and Place — Know when and where to give feedback for maximum effect. Give Balanced Feedback — Provide the right mix of supportive and corrective feedback. By understanding how to interact more constructively with your peers, you can create a positive, productive, and dynamic culture that serves everyone well. Tell Me How I’m Doing is an engaging story and an essential guidebook for understanding how to use feedback to communicate goals, improve per

Seeing Is Believing
$29.95Take a look around your workplace and try to find the following items: A statement of business objectives. I think it’s in that pile by the copy machine. A schedule of divisional goals. Everyone got that e-mail last year. Clear performance standards. They’re in the employee handbook. Team workflow documents. On the bulletin board, sticking out from under the first aid sign. Regular communication and motivation from management to employees. We have the quarterly meeting, and we send out memos. Stop. Is the information your employees need every day truly accessible? Just because it’s there doesn’t mean it’s present. When information is hard to find, outdated, nebulous, or incomplete, the effect is profound. If they can’t see it, it’s as good as nonexistent. The fact is, the visual elements in a workplace have a tremendous impact on execution, morale, and productivity. And it’s not just about information access. A visually dynamic workplace energizes employees, builds pride and ownership, and conveys the strength and currency of the organization. Design and graphics, art and color, sculpture and dimension — all have profound effects. Far from simply prettying up the office, your organization needs to create an environment of visual stimuli that convey goals and expectations, that engender a collaborative attitude, and most important, that cannot be ignored. This book represents a milestone in the science of workplace design. Whereas there are countless approaches for improving the comfort factor of work environments through color, lighting, furniture, and spatial flow, Seeing Is Believing is the first book to link visual elements directly to specific organizational objectives and individual tasks. The authors have created a step-by-step plan for creating and implementing a Visual Management program in any environment. You’ll learn how to create a dynamic VM system that: Replaces information overload with information sharing and dramatically improved workflow Seamlessly incorporates clear information exchange into an aesthetically pleasing and energizing workplace that will make people want to come to work Resonates with workers of every generation, whether they identify with Life magazine or MTV Enhances relationships not only among employees, but also with customers, business partners, investors, and the public Ensures uniform understanding of crucial requirements and desired outcomes Seeing Is Believing features many examples of how VM has improved perfor

Kindness Revolution : The Company-Wide Culture Shift That Inspires Phenomen
$22.99Despite years of focus on the importance of customer service, most businesses still have a lot to learn. Too many merely tweak a script, roll out a new offer, then disappear from the scene, leaving their frontline staff — often underpaid and badly overworked — to expertly, cheerfully handle all the real-life encounters with real-life customers who can make or break a company. That’s no way to run a business, says customer service expert Ed Horrell. If you treat your frontline employees with indifference or disregard, you can expect them to treat your customers with indifference — and you can then expect to have indifferent customers who will drop you for the next best thing without a murmur of regret. Combining extensive research with inspiring real-life examples from companies known for their outstanding customer service — such as L.L.Bean, Chick-fil-A, Nordstrom, Mrs. Fields, St. Jude Children’s Research Center, The Ritz-Carlton, FedEx, and more — Horrell explains in The Kindness Revolution that providing exceptional, compassionate customer service can only happen when you build a deep and lasting relationship with your employees. And it is kindness, says Horrell, that most characterizes that relationship. The Kindness Revolution traces the culture characteristics of the standout companies, including their strong conviction that: Each employee has an important job to do. Their corporate entity has a meaningful purpose-to serve the customer in a way that delivers value. Each employee should be empowered to make decisions. They attract the best employees and customers by running an organization based on sincerity and consideration. There is value in dignity and respect and courtesy — and kindness. For organizations large and small, of any size or industry, The Kindness Revolution is a resounding wake-up call to change the way your company thinks about its employees, and to practice the basic values of dignity, respect, courtesy, and kindness from top to bottom throughout your organization. The way you treat your employees will be the way they treat your customers. Follow the wise advice and insightful examples in The Kindness Revolution, and experience the enormous payback in loyal customers, a more prosperous company — and a better way of life.

Safe Place For Dangerous Truths
$19.95No more “checking for feet.” This illuminating guide gets people to tell the truth at the meeting–not in the bathroom afterwards. Almost everybody does it–lie, that is. In one recent survey 93% of people admitted to lying regularly at work! Why? Because it’s safer than telling the truth. Sadly, organizations cannot succeed in this poisonous world of half-truths, strategic omissions, and doctored information. To function optimally, businesses must create an environment where people feel free to tell the truth, no matter how disturbing. Only then can organizations unleash the responsiveness, creativity, and enthusiasm necessary to achieve their goals. This unique book shows how, using the formal process of “dialogue,” such a place can be built. In a lively discussion, the author shows managers how to use this technique to encourage truth-telling by reducing fear, prompting self-examination, and opening minds * build trust where suspicion and cynicism held sway * inspire individuals to think and learn as a group * help groups talk through tough issues and move to collaborative action.
