    This book will show you how to attract a lot of applicants, effectively screen-in just the best candidates, assure candidate transparency and honesty, reveal not just candidate strengths but their weaker points, and enable you to always get accurate verification of what candidates said. The Resources section will help you get started using the tools and methods you will learn about, and present ways to continue your mastery of Topgrading. Our promise to you is this: use just the methods featured in this book and you will begin hiring more A Players, whether you are a CEO, first-level supervisor or HR professional. And yes, there is unprecedented evidence that Topgrading delivers the promised results. We have dozens of documented case studies and hundreds of informal accounts, from Global 100 companies to fast-growing start-ups, that achieved an average of 85% success hiring high performers. Tens of thousands of managers have accelerated their careers using this process to ensure their teams boast mostly A Players. And Topgrading methods utilize hard, factual candidate information to minimize bias and discrimination.We’ve written Foolproof Hiring to get you started in your quest to hire better. Think of it as first aid for your hiring ailments. You will learn methods that can produce quick improvement, but, continuing the metaphor, reading this book will not turn you into a “Hiring Brain Surgeon.” Some keys, such as in-depth interviewing, require more learning and practice to master. Think about the training necessary to become an EMT versus the education and experience necessary to work as a surgeon; the same principle applies here. Using the solutions in the book to get some quick hiring wins will motivate you and your team to keep learning and practicing the methods. As you continue to improve your hiring success rate you will achieve a really strong, cohesive team that not only has fun, but gets better results.

    Where can you find great prospects for your network marketing business?  
Who are the best prospects? Where can you find groups of these prospects? And how can you attract these prospects to you and your multilevel marketing business? 
In this book, 51 Ways and Places To Sponsor New Distributors, you will learn the best places to find motivated people to build your team and your customer base. So instead of searching and wasting time, you can get right to the very people who want your business and products. 
Why 51 different places? Because not everyone wants to build a business the same way. Some people are comfortable on social media. Other networkers like building in person. Or maybe you just like using the telephone from the comfort of your home. And no matter which method you prefer, other people in your group may choose another method to build their businesses. There's something for everyone. 
Talking to people at random is fine. But if you want to build your organization fast, you want to target your efforts directly to prospects who want your opportunity and products. Save time. Save energy. Focus on prospects who feel now is the best time for them to make a change in their lives. 
Whether you choose the “Stair-Step Technique,” the “Bird Dog Technique,” or a “Promotion Party,” you will actively fill up your calendar with great appointments for your presentations. Just pick one that is comfortable for you and start building today.

    Leading Exponential Change (Second Edition, MAY 2019) unveils the secrets of enterprise Agility. 
The way companies manage change has undergone dramatic shifts, and organizations have tried to adapt to relentless market innovations by using artificial intelligence, Big Data, the Scrum Framework, increasingly connected people, and new mind-sets such as Agile or Lean. But all these approaches have only established disruptive change as a new, relentless reality.  
World-renowned consultant Erich R. Bühler shares the secrets that differentiate truly remarkable companies from those that fail to adapt to today’s constantly changing market conditions.  
Drawing on his experience as an international change consultant, the author takes you deep into why companies struggle to adapt even when they have the right people. 
This ground-breaking book offers new foundations to help company leaders, managers, Agile consultants, HR representatives, mentors, and scrum masters become skilled at helping others to influence change.  
Here listeners find five types of Agility -including mental Agility and how to increase it!. He also explains two game-changing frameworks for increasing adaptability to change: The ELSA framework, ideal for environments where people welcome change, and DeLTA, which helps manage change in companies with hostile work environments.  
Between the first and second editions, he traveled around the world interviewing change consultants from different countries and cultures to verify which of his techniques had a positive impact and which ones needed to be improved.  
Bolstered by this new data, the second edition is packed with new paradigms, practices, ready-to-use tools, and real-life stories from the author and other industry-revered consultants specializing in innovation, human resources, and coaching.
