This book is the essential guide for the millions of people all
over the world making the challenging and rewarding leap to
manager, who want to become that manager their team deserves.
FranklinCovey knows that managers are desperate for help -
especially employees who go from managing tasks to managing people.
They yearn for training and tools to help them become more
confident, effective, and valued. This practical and inspirational
guide offers the solution with guidance, tips and insights that are
relevant, easily applicable, based on credible expertise, and will
fit into the manager's hectic daily schedule. The focus of the book
is to give managers the information they need in a way that they
can absorb quickly. They can pick up a helpful tip in 10-minutes or
glean an entire skill-set with a deeper reading. The goal is for
the busy manager to know what to do and how to do it without
interrupting their regular workflow. Each role highlights the
current, authentic problems managers face and briefly explores the
limiting mindsets or common mistakes that led to those problems.
The book has 29 skill-based chapters, which cover essential
managerial skills like one-on-ones, giving feedback, delegating,
hiring, building team culture, and leading remote teams. The book
also includes over 30 unique tools, such as a prep worksheet for
your next one-on-one and a list of over 100 behavioural questions
for your next interview.
'A toolbox full of wisdom, an urgent starting point in finding
possibility, potential and power in the people around you' SETH
GODIN, bestselling author of Linchpin An organization's greatest
asset is the relationships between its people (their ability to
build and sustain great working relationships). This is the
greatest predictor of personal, and company, success and efficacy.
Todd Davis, the Chief People Officer at FranklinCovey - the
organization behind The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and The
4 Disciplines of Execution - provides the practical tools for
improving your relationships at work. In an approachable and
engaging style, using real-world stories, Davis describes the
common relationship pitfalls that negatively affect personal
careers and organizational results. From his 30-year experience
observing, leading and coaching others, Davis identifies the 15
proven practices that influential leaders at any level of an
organization use to improve the quality of their interactions with
others and master the skills of effective relationships.
In Coffin Honey, his seventh book of poems, celebrated poet Todd
Davis explores the many forms of violence we do to each other and
to the other living beings with whom we share the planet. Here
racism, climate collapse, and pandemic, as well as the very real
threat of extinction-both personal and across ecosystems-are
dramatized in intimate portraits of Rust-Belt Appalachia: a young
boy who has been sexually assaulted struggles with dreams of
revenge and the possible solace that nature might provide; a girl
whose boyfriend has enlisted in the military faces pregnancy alone;
and a bear named Ursus navigates the fecundity of the forest after
his own mother's death, literally crashing into the encroaching
human world. Each poem in Coffin Honey seeks to illuminate beauty
and suffering, the harrowing precipice we find ourselves walking
nearer to in the twenty-first century. As with his past
prize-winning volumes, Davis, whose work Orion Magazine likens to
that of Wendell Berry and Mary Oliver, names the world with love
and care, demonstrating what one reviewer describes as his
knowledge of "Latin names, common names, habitats, and habits . . .
steeped in the exactness of the earth and the science that unfolds
in wildness."
Can new technology enhance local, national, and global democracy?
"Online Deliberation" is the first book that attempts to sample the
full range of work on online deliberation, forging new connections
between academic research, web designers, and practitioners.
Since the most exciting innovations in deliberation have occurred
outside of traditional institutions, and those involved have often
worked in relative isolation from each other, research conducted on
this growing field has to this point neglected the full perspective
of online participation. This volume, an essential read for those
working at the crossroads of computer and social science,
illuminates the collaborative world of deliberation by examining
diverse clusters of Internet communities.
