1 & 2. The Essential Managers: Mini Books

Once again two mini books from The "Essential Managers" series are included. This series is an appealing set of 20 itty-bitty books on business and career topics. The response from the previous two mini books was outstanding. Here is a description of the two included this time.

     Essential Managers: How to Delegate

      by Robert Heller

This booklet is only 72 pages but filled with some extremely helpful advice for managers and leaders. This guide simplifies the process of letting go, shows you what and how to delegate and how to monitor your delegating skills. It utilizes mini-case studies, check-lists and easy-to-read flowcharts. As in the rest of the series’ publications, the jazzy designed pages, signature format will aid your learning from this thumbnail guide to the basics of delegation. Remember, delegate or stagnate!

     Essential Managers: Dealing with Difficult People

     by Christina Osborne

Osborne's booklet helps leaders and managers to identify difficult people and to know how to work with them by knowing how people are different. It also examines thinking about how to motivate people and understanding the art of observing and managing difficult people. You will learn to apply practical techniques to identify and understand difficult people. It provides some simple checklists which will enable you to anticipate problems and find the best solutions for challenging situations.

3. The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness - Book

    by Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey, the best-selling author of the Seven Habits of Highly Successful People says that the information/internet age we have embarked on requires an additional 8th habit to help people to achieve personal and organizational excellence. He identifies, finding your voice and inspiring others to find theirs, as his 8th habit. It focuses on helping us to find our own unique personal significance. It will instruct you to inspire others in the workplace and in your spheres of influence by establishing trust, searching for third alternatives, and developing a shared vision.

4. Monday Morning Leadership - Book

    by David Cotrell

I recently ran across a wonderful short book on leadership and coaching. In my opinion, the best books are brief, clear and pertinent. Monday Morning Leadership fits all those requirements. The format is around a man who’s struggling as a manager, his family and work is not going well, and he is not happy. He contacts an old family friend who had been successful in business, who agrees to meet for eight weeks and pass on advice. They meet on Monday mornings, thus the title. There is one chapter for each session. I think you will agree this is worth your time.

5. "Are you Ready to Carry the Promises of God to Full

    Term Rather than Aborting Them?" - Audio CD
