Great Communication Secrets of Great Leaders Review

Great Communication Secrets of Great Leaders
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Baldoni's "Great Communication Secrets Of Great Leaders" is a well-researched and highly readable "how-to" of leadership communications. This author knows his material, and presents it through the interesting device of linking principles to some of the world's leading communicators. It was refreshing to read a business-centered book that focus specifically on the communication aspects of leadership, which Baldoni obviously understands quite well. As a former professional actor, I also enjoyed how the author links dynamic presentations to effective performance. This book is well worth the modest cover price. A definite "buy!"

Lessons From the Field: Applying Appreciative Inquiry (Revised Edition) Review

Lessons From the Field: Applying Appreciative Inquiry (Revised Edition)

It is rare that we would describe a business book as beautiful, but this one truly is. Not only is the artwork subtle and well integrated to contribute to the physical beauty of this book, there is beauty in each story or lesson. You will find well written, detailed case studies on the application and success of Appreciative Inquiry in settings ranging from schools to communities to entire nations. The how-do portions of the book are powerfully written yet easy to understand (in contrast to some of the more academic works on this subject).
My favorite 'lesson' comes from Father Greg Banaga and relates the principles of Ai to the teachings in the Bible. Just one example of the uplifting nature of this book and the ennate quality of the Appreciative Inquiry Process. Buy it for its practical, informative text, love it for its depth and beauty.

What Do You Really Want? How to Set a Goal and Go for It A Guide for Teens Review

I am always looking for ways to help my 15-year-old son to reach his full potential (without nagging him!). So when I saw this book, I ordered it for him. It just came--he's not home--so I decided to page through it, and before I knew it, I had read the whole thing. It's tremendous! Easy to read but not simplistic; positive and inspiring; and equally applicable to boys and girls. Where was this book when I was a kid??? One of the best features of this book is quotes from teens about how they have achieved some very interesting goals. The book also has worksheets to help kids clarify their values, goals and action steps. Those seem like a great conversation-starter for parents and kids--I can't wait to learn more about my son, and for him to learn more about me, as we discuss our goals and dreams! Okay, I must admit, I'm going to fill out a few of those worksheets myself. I'm also ordering two more copies to donate to my son's high school library. And this book is going to be my Confirmation/graduation/Bar Mitzvah/birthday gift to teens from now on!

When Fish Fly: Lessons For Creating a Vital and Energized Workplace From the World Famous Pike Place Fish Market Review

When Fish Fly: Lessons For Creating a Vital and Energized Workplace From the World Famous Pike Place Fish Market
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Author John Yokoyama, owner of Seattle's World Famous Pike Place Fish Market, explains how he changed his attitude toward his employees, embraced a new way of treating people, led his employees in a fundamental directional shift and built a widespread reputation. This isn't a business "cookbook" that tells you step by step what to do. As Yokoyama insists, you can't just copy someone else's success. You must be an individual. However, the story of his turnaround and triumph at World Famous Pike Place Fish Market is a good read that illuminates the need for leaders to treat their employees, as he says, as people, not as human resources. Although the Market is getting to be as overexposed as a fish left out in the sun, we welcome this first person exposition from the owner. After numerous published accounts about the Market, the saga of how Yokoyama empowered employees, promoted his business and changed his style comes through best in his own words.
