Book excerpt: In The Type B Manager, Victor Lipman offers a unique lens through which to view the challenging problems of management. While management has long been considered the realm of Type A individuals—hard-driving, competitive high achievers—all too often these high-intensity traits aren’t effective when it comes to motivating your employees. Many characteristics of Type B individuals—being more relaxed, less competitive, more reflective, slower to anger—can be considered “people skills” that better influence motivation and productivity. And successful management after all is the practice of accomplishing work through other people. In a business landscape where 70 percent of employees are disengaged and not working at full productive capacity, Lipman focuses on practical tactical aspects of management viewed through a Type B lens, including: · Motivating and developing employees · Handling conflict, and · Engendering trust and respect He examines specific skills, behaviors, and situations where a Type B mindset is advantageous and suggests ways that self-described Type A managers can boost their effectiveness by adopting Type B approaches—and vice versa.

Download or read book Managing Time Mindfully written by Tom Evans and published by Completelynovel. This book was released on 2015-12-03 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the use of mindfulness meditation as a practical tool for improved time management. Time-as-we-know-it is man-made. While it allows us to run our sophisticated society, we have become enslaved by it. From breakfast time through lunch time and back to bed time, our lives are run to the clock. When we take control of our Personal Time Machine, our mind, we can take the passage of time under our control. Slowing down is the new speeding up. The practice of daily mindfulness meditation slows down the perceived passage of time so we get more done with less of it. At the same time, we become less prone to interruptions and calmer and more focused. Our productivity and creativity soars while, at the same time, we become more vibrant and healthy. The world around us seems to alter too. Serendipity begins to visit our door, just in time. Life becomes a breeze when we stop pushing water uphill and go with the temporal flow. "It is about time there was a book about time like this one." "A temporal tour de force."
