You will learn:What the most important subject of any conversation isHow influence others How to really connect with people on a deeper levelHow to convince people and get them to say yes to youHow to avoid committing the deadly sin in human relationsHow to make the human ego the ally in any of your endeavorsHow to handle complaints and critics smoothly How to listen effectively and be the most intelligent person in the room …and much more… Good skills with people many times make the difference between losing your job or getting a promotion: between making the sale or losing it; between great customer service and being expandable as a supplier; between being THE ONE or just a friend; between a smile and an angry look.Ver libro
Make the move from star contributor to exceptional leader in this long overdue hands-on guide. Today’s organizations are packed full of experts in every area from marketing to sales to IT. Many of these people are also leaders, heading teams or departments. They lead because they know more than the rest of their group. They are followed because of their credibility as experts. Yet, the toughest transition in business comes when expert leaders are asked to move beyond their expertise and lead a larger group, they struggle with how to span a broad area without trying to become the expert in every aspect. In Wanda Wallace’s experience, this move—from expert to spanning leader—requires a new mindset about how to lead.

She provides tools and strategies for individuals to navigate their new roles and learn to combine their expertise with their leadership responsibilities. She also offers essential advice on the fundamental change in mindset that this requires. Not just for novice managers, this invaluable audio handbook offers human resources professionals and mentors insights into why their company’s star performer may be suddenly floundering, and offers essential tools to guide them.

WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO SUCCEED AT WORK? MAKE SURE YOUR BOSS SUCCEEDS FIRST. Today's typical workplace may be less formal and more inclusive than those of the past, but one thing hasn't changed: The boss is the boss. A veteran of the U.S. Army, William Smullen spent 50 years leading--and being led by--some of the toughest people in the business. Over his career, he served at every level from platoon to division--and at the highest levels in the Pentagon, as well. In business terms, that's the equivalent of running a very small business to sitting in a corporate C-Suite. Smullen's final public-service assignment was chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin L. Powell. As chief of staff, one of his main responsibilities was to ensure Secretary Powell kept his positive image and was successful in everything he did. Now, he shares the lessons he learned working in some of the world’s most demanding organizations. In Ways and Means for Managing Up, he tells you everything you need to know to effectively "manage your manager" in ways that help both you and your boss succeed and rise within your company. In 50 short yet informative chapters, Smullen shares his hard-won insight, such as: View your relationship with your boss as a partnership Think of your boss as a brand Never allow your boss to be surprised Help your boss manage risk or crisis Be a strategic asset your boss counts on Whether you're good friends with your manager or have trouble coexisting in the same office, your success depends on his or her success. This has always been true, and it will always be true. You serve yourself well when you serve your boss well. Take your career to new heights by learning and applying the Ways and Means for Managing Up. It can serve as a survival guide, a road map, or a blueprint for people at every level in an organization. PRAISE FOR WAYS AND MEANS FOR MANAGING UP: A terrific book by one of the masters of truth-telling in the American military--wise, forceful, and a must-read for anyone who has a boss. My hat is off to Bill Smullen, and yours will be too when you read what he has learned over the decades." -- BOB WOODWARD, Associate Editor, The Washington Post "Bill Smullen's unique experience as a member of the U.S. Army and as chief of staff for former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Secretary of State Colin Powell gives him some great lessons to pass on. I highly recommend Ways and Means for Managing Up. -- JIM BOEHEIM, Syracuse University’s Hall of Fame Head Basketball Coach "Colonel Smullen has worked for some of the smartest and most demanding bosses in modern American history, most notably General Colin Powell, for many years. In this book Smullen offers an invaluable guide for how to succeed inside any organization. It is a guide that is both tremendously wise and, in some places, laugh-out-loud funny." -- PETER BERGEN, CNN's National Security Analyst and the author of Manhunt: The Ten-Year Search for Bin Laden from 9/11 to AbbottabadVer libro
When trying to move ahead or even just keep a job there are actions that would be of great advantage to any employee, and there are strategies that are plain stupid interestingly enough, the stupid strategies are twice as frequent in corporate America. Indispensable by Monday goes beyond conventional wisdom to reveal and teach the skills and behaviors that any employee at any level of any organization can implement to bring substantial dollars to the company. Going beyond the basics of dressing well, getting to work on time, and volunteering for assignments all common suggestions offered elsewhere this book will enable readers to reduce company costs, produce increased income, improve key processes and revive lost customers. Anchored by a nation-wide research study which surveyed 1,800 leaders, the study found that even though leaders can readily identify the bottom-line behaviors that employees should be engaging in, they dont see those behaviors exhibited by very many workers. Indispensible by Monday separates fact from fiction for what makes an employee indispensable and distinguishes the value-added behaviors from the less-valuable, serving as a viable catalyst for positive change within any organization.Ver libro
