Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's unfortunate reality, for millions of people, is that work is simply a have-to-do that pays the bills and gets in the way of doing what they really care about. This results in people becoming disengaged and disconnected from their organizations and colleagues. But what if employees could be made to see the big picture, the connection between their own efforts, and the success of their organizations? What if people could be made to feel a sense of purpose at work and to thereby become committed, sincere, loyal, and happy participants in a team effort? Authors "Maryann Baumgarten" and "Lisa Smith" know that we all feel engaged when we care and connect to something larger than ourselves. They realize that even though so many of us see work as a time- and energy-sucking drain, a few shifts in organizational behavior and direction can turn that perspective on its head. Their new book, "#ENGAGE tweet: How Leaders Bring More Energy into Work and Life," contains 140 actionable pieces of wisdom that employers and senior managers can start using today to make people engaged and connected with their work and workplaces. "#ENGAGE tweet" focuses on bringing clarity to the work environment by answering several fundamental questions. What needs are being fulfilled through work? Conversely, what needs are as yet unmet? How does any employee be made to feel more balanced and connected to their true motivations? Finally, how can any employee realize that they can indeed change their circumstances to make work engaging, meaningful, and fun? For any employer who has grappled with the issue of discontentment at work, or for any employee who would like to turn around their workdays to make them pleasurable and meaningful, "#ENGAGE tweet" is an actionable book that will engage mind and spirit, to bring about positive realignment and empowerment. "#ENGAGE tweet" is part of the THiNKaha series whose slim and handy books contain 140 well-thought-out quotes (tweets/ahas).

Download or read book after College Tweet Book01 written by Matthew Chow and published by Happy About. This book was released on 2013 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the ivory tower existence of college comes the hard reality of "real life." Although the economy is steadily curving upwards, many college graduates still have to face the reality that their efforts over the past four years may not readily result in the payoff of a lucrative job. To put it bluntly, many new graduates today find themselves newly unemployed For those that fall under this category, who are walking out into the real world for the first time, help in the form of a realistic and supportive guidebook is at hand. '#AFTER COLLEGE tweet' provides pointers for moving forward in just such a situation. It shows recent graduates how to reconcile the reality of their situations with the promise of the jobs they expected after attending four-year universities. Written by college graduates who are trying to find their place in the world themselves, the book clearly demonstrates a firm grasp on the truths of life after college and what must be done to preserve balance in a time of uncertainty. As the authors point out, a fundamental difference between college life and life after college is that the latter is devoid of a straight, well-laid-out path. One has to find one's own way. Money is often a constraint, especially if there are substantial student loans to repay. Extensive job searching can be hard on the mind and self-esteem. Many rules that applied in college no longer hold. Maintaining a balance in this new environment is not easy. Most importantly, young college graduates out in the workplace are seen as adults, and not cushioned as they were in college. The authors are keenly aware that an important part of adulthood after graduation is being able to find pride and self-confidence as well as an understanding of self. With empathy, perspective, and a sense of humor, the authors of #AFTER COLLEGE tweet help young adults sail through this challenging period of their lives. '#AFTER COLLEGE tweet' is part of the THiNKaha series whose slim and handy books contain 140 well-thought-out quotes (tweets/ahas).

Download or read book SUCCESSFUL CORPORATE LEARNING tweet Book07 written by Mike Hower and published by Happy About. This book was released on 2014-10-10 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The phrase communities of practice is relatively new; the concept and its utility is not. Simply put, a community of practice is a learning community. When people realize that they can benefit from sharing their knowledge, experience and insights with like-minded and similarly-motivated people, the seed for a community of practice gets planted. E-learning communities, continuing education groups, cooperative education groups and apprenticeship programs are all, in some form or fashion, communities of practice.

In a few rare instances, a community of practice will build and nurture itself, with little apparent or active management. Much more common is the case whereby a community of practice needs conscious and thoughtful input to be conceived, nurtured and brought to flourish. When a community of practice is implemented correctly, it becomes a powerful and enabling tool for improving productivity, encouraging professional development and creating a culture of continuous learning in an organization.

Expert knowledge disseminators and learning facilitators, two communities experts--Mike Hower and Michael Prevou--work with corporate learning expert Mitchell Levy to show you, in their very actionable new book, how to get a community of practice initiative off the ground and drive adoption in your organization. In their last several years of work in this pathbreaking area, both authors have repeatedly been asked how to get a community defined, how to measure its value and how to keep a valuable community successful. Their book is a direct result of such questioning; indeed the authors demonstrate how communities of practice are the killer app of knowledge management. This is a practical and implementable volume that provides vital tips for knowledge leaders, managers and facilitators who support these communities in such a way that they make a positive contribution to creating and sharing organizational knowledge--a contribution that engages people and leads to a competitive advantage in today's business environment.

Book excerpt: In today's world where an organization's prospect has access to more information about the industry, key firms within that industry, and customer testimonials of those using products and services from companies in the industry, how can any organization stand out? In some industries, buyers have conducted 75 percent of their research on the Internet prior to talking to any firms to make their purchasing decisions. How do you make sure that you are not only at the table, but have a strong seat at it? It's simple. Two words: "thought leadership." With the changing environment that the Internet and social media is bringing about, it's not as much about the global organization, but the individual experts turned thought leaders in the organizations whose names you associate with expertise in their respective niches. These thought leaders are being helped by their organizations to crowdsource books and eBooks, write articles, blog, tweet, speak at conferences and webinars, as well as to get quoted in traditional media on events and trends in the marketplace. Through them, the organizations' messages are being amplified in the marketplace.

If you are tapped by your organization to be a thought leader or are considering just diving in and taking the lead yourself, this book is for you. This aha from the beginning of the book should appeal to the organization: "Prospects making purchasing decisions are looking for thought leaders in their space to learn from before taking action" (#54). The last aha of this book should appeal to the expert: "Being a thought leader is one of the most rewarding positions to be in life. Why not work to make it yours!" (#140).

Strategic pricing is a game-changing process for business-to-business pricing in today’s highly competitive global markets.

It continues to have a significant, positive impact on the profitability of companies that have embraced and employed it effectively. It is not unusual for companies to increase their bottom line by two to three points or more within the first two years after implementation. After all, what company doesn’t want to add another three hundred thousand dollars to the bottom line for every ten million dollars in sales? And the real win is that these companies are also growing their businesses and improving customer satisfaction at the same time.

Whereas Six Sigma methodologies are widely accepted as benchmarks for increasing profitability via product/service performance in every constrained area of an organization, Lean is closely associated with speed, efficiency and waste minimization. While meeting modern quality standards, corporations must simultaneously decrease lead times and become ever more proactive to evolving customer urgencies. Therefore, as manufacturing cycles get shorter and innovation accelerates, Six Sigma and Lean need to be integrated using the applied theory of constraints into the business product/service flow as Lean Six Sigma (LSS). Enter "Dr. Shree Nanguneri," with his expertise in LSS methodologies and strategies and experience in LSS deployments across corporations, continents and cultures.

You will find his teachings equally applicable to diverse spheres including general manufacturing, product prototyping, engineering validation, production trials, final manufacturing launches, call center customer service, website back office management operations, accounts payables or receivables and sales closure cycles. You will understand what makes LSS work, where deployment brittleness could occur and what to watch out for as you speed up your business processes. By using the proven and popular tweet format, Dr. Shree has 'walked his talk.' He has honed his personal technique of transferring knowledge, making the lessons in his book easy to absorb and assimilate. With knowledge that you can immediately apply to your work environment, this book helps you stay on top of the requirement to marry performance with speed and customer requirements so that your processes remain competitive at all times.

Download or read book CORPORATE CULTURE Tweet Book01 written by S. Chris Edmonds and published by Happy About. This book was released on 2011-04-19 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In "#CORPORATE CULTURE tweet Book01," "S. Chris Edmonds" starts at the very beginning--by showing you how to recognize an organization's culture and identify what a healthy workplace culture looks, acts, and sounds like. This may sound trivial, but it is not. Oftentimes, surface appearances are deceptive and you need to dig a little to learn the truth. An organization that appears healthy and happy may have large numbers of low-productivity, demotivated employees. Conversely an organization that appears to have plateaued or be driven by a handful of strong personalities may, counter to intuition, boast of stellar performers and consistently upbeat results. Having shown you how to recognize a healthy organization, the author uncovers the power of 'boss behavior.' Most of us remember our best boss ever, a person who created a work environment that enabled us to perform at our best while being incredibly satisfied with our boss, team, and work. Chris describes how great bosses behave to ensure that organizational culture standards are maintained and reinforced each day. Just as culture change is hard for individuals, it is difficult for organizations. It takes discipline and effort to focus on culture management day in and day out. Which is why Chris also engages us on accountability behaviors and actions that ensure that the desired organizational culture is embedded and acted upon. Written in the actionable tweet format and demonstrating the value that can be delivered in small packages, "#CORPORATE CULTURE tweet Book01" will find a home on every progressive corporate leader's bookshelf. "#CORPORATE CULTURE tweet Book01" is part of the THiNKaha series whose 112-page books contain 140 well-thought-out quotes (tweets/ahas).

Download or read book SOCIAL MEDIA PR Tweet Book01 written by Janet Fouts and published by Happy About. This book was released on 2011-05 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PR has always been demanding. With expectations of lightning-fast responses, today's consumers, vendors and general public all make it challenging to manage and control corporate messaging and PR. Surely you have heard somebody promoting social media as a silver bullet or band-aid for all PR issues? Therein lies the danger...and the opportunity. It's very easy to make PR blunders with social media, simply because you cannot control it. Then how do you learn to use social media, work with it, exploit its potential fully and make it an integral component of your PR toolkit? In "#SOCIAL MEDIA PR tweet Book01" Janet Fouts shows you how. Social media, as she explains lucidly, is not about one-way broadcasting but about two-way communication. Sure, your company's PR messaging needs to go out but after that you also need to engage your audience, assimilate feedback and close the loop. In other words, social media is all about dialog. With her expertise in social media coaching, Janet understands that while many of us are individually passionate about social media, the corporations or enterprises we belong to don't necessarily share our passion or knowledge. Also, companies are tired of being sold on social media concepts; they want actionable information. Which is why Janet wrote this book in the actionable, accessible and increasingly-popular tweet format. Delivered in 140 characters or less, Janet's tweets demonstrate the value that can be communicated in small packages. For example, she knows that it's very likely within a corporate environment to be sold on a particular social platform or toolset. Which is why she cautions: Stay platform agnostic. Strategy isn't about the tools. The tips and guidelines in "#SOCIAL MEDIA PR tweet Book01" will get you on the road to understanding the potential of social media for PR. You will learn about communicating and inbound media, with individual sections related to Facebook, Twitter, blogs and promotional events. With Janet Fouts' book at hand, you can confidently harness the power of social media for your PR messaging.
