The Performance Advantage provides managers at every level with the
ability to understand how to take the right action, at the right
time, to increase performance and create a motivational work
environment. For years, the myth of traditional thinking was that
creating high morale resulted in high performance. Think again
Arthors Rick Tate and Dr. Julie White destroy this myth and provide
managers practical, applied methods, skills, and concepts that come
directly from over 30 years of research in organizational
effectiveness, not from some new management avor of the month. With
a concise, easy to remember model, managers will be energized to
lead more effectively, with fewer resources and within tighter
budgets. Imagine what it will be like to take action...the right
action, at the right time to get bottom line results impact: -
Employee Motivation - Performance Expectations - Employee Ability -
Employee Attitude - Confidence - Desire and Motivation -
Organizational Issues - Personal Issues - Meaningful Participation
- Leadership Action: When the leader's action is aligned with the
follower's performance results and attitude (rather than the
leader's comfort zone), then performance, retention, and
relationships all improve.

Recognized as one of France's leading photographers, Reverdot has
conceived of this book -- his sixth, though his first to be
published in the U.S. -- around the theme of life's process of
birth and decay. The result is a haunting series of stunningly
produced still lives that capture in their dark tones a mood of
somber acceptance.
Known as a beautiful Southern city and distinguished by its opulent
homes, towering church steeples and gracious hospitality,
Charleston, South Carolina, has long been associated with the
genteel side of Southern living. However, beyond the outward
appearances that most people associate with Charleston, there is
another side that most visitors and residents alike would not
believe is part of the very fabric from which the city??'s history
was woven. Wicked Charleston: The Dark Side of the Holy City, by
local resident and tour guide Mark Jones, opens the door to the
dark alleys and seedy characters not often associated with the
Charleston of today. From the sexual escapades of an original Lord
Proprietor and the comings and goings of the most notorious
pirates, to secret brothels and nightclubs, Jones leads the reader
back to a time when "drinking, eating and whoring with more than
fifty wenches" was more common in the Holy City than one may
imagine.
