Summary

As a boy, Fee Stubblefield promised his fiercely independent grandmother that he would never “put her in an old folks’ home.” That aspirational promise, made with love and care, would be something he always remembered—and a commitment he eventually made within the senior housing and care industry.Seeking to create vibrant and engaging communities where we can thrive in our older years, Fee has encapsulated the best insights from his years in the industry in this book. He addresses everything from how to pick the right capital partners, hiring the best people for a culture of caring, introduces the concept of aspirational promises, addresses the deep issues in the industry exposed by Covid-19 and our attitudes toward a rapidly aging population.Fee’s passion was born of an unusual upbringing as part of a family that owned and operated Lehman Hot Springs and its sacred healing waters, a metaphor for the care needed by our senior citizens. He learned business lessons, like most entrepreneurs, through the difficulties and victories of the Springs Living communities. However, regardless of the lessons—the central core of the Culture of Promise is transparency, accountability, care, respect, and a commitment to the people at the heart of that promise.

    No fighter pilot ever flies a mission solo, and neither should you.  To reach your highest potential in business and life, you can’t do it alone. Regardless if you are in the cockpit of an F-16 or at the office, the need for courage, commitment, and mutual support is more critical than ever.  In NEVER FLY SOLO (McGraw-Hill), former combat decorated fighter pilot and Hall of Fame speaker Lt. Col. Rob “Waldo” Waldman shares business critical concepts for success and delivers a very human message:  We all have “missiles in life” to overcome and we can’t do it alone.  Whether you’re an entrepreneur, seasoned executive or simply looking to enhance your leadership skills and relationships, you’ll learn to:  • 	Recommit to the core business values of integrity, accountability, and service before self.•	Communicate effectively under high stress conditions at work.  •	Build and leverage mission critical wingman relationships with key supervisors, co?workers, family members and friends • 	Identify courage building techniques to take action when the missiles of adversity are launched.  Waldo’s stories are inspiring, humorous and told with a surprising candor that bucks the typical Hollywood fighter pilot image.  Never Fly Solo delivers a positive, heart?felt message that draws a perfect parallel between military experience and building meaningful business relationships.

    Finding the right talent is hard. Finding the right talent that will prosper and stay is even harder. Business growth is being stifled and fields of office cubicles remain empty due to the fierce competition for talent today with job openings having recently surged to a record high: 6.55 million. 
    Evergreen Talent will show you how to attract, find, and keep employees for the long-term. What many organization leaders fail to understand is that you can't simply transplant a competitor's talent strategy and achieve the same results - just as you can't take plants suited to a warm climate and expect them to thrive in chillier locales. The conditions are too different. But a company that takes the time to examine its own environment, select talent accordingly, and nurture its people will stand tall, regardless of economic conditions. 
    In Evergreen Talent, Roberta Chinsky Matuson challenges leaders to think differently about their approach to growing a sustainable workforce - one that will regenerate regularly, with minimal effort on their part. The audiobook is filled with pragmatic advice, case studies, and best practices from companies that have done this successfully. Also included are tools to help listeners assess their workplace environment and populate their organization with talent that will continue to grow, year after year.
