Download or read book I Thought He was a Speed Bump and Other Excuses from Life in the Fast Lane written by Terry Marotta and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Most people in this country hurry too much. I know, because I have been one of them. For much of my adult life, I've broken dozens of glasses and plates each year whipping them in and out of the dishwasher, thinking all the while,'Get it done, get it done.' So begins this collection of reader-favorite columns, with its varied chapter headings ("Latin For the Not Yet Dead," "Fruit of The Loom Jesus" and "When Will Dad Become a Woman?") all centered around what kids have to teach us: about not driving so fast that we hardly know what - or, in the story which gives the book its title - who are driving over. "A delightful valentine to dispel the humdrum quality of everyday experience, Marotta's observations are rife with gentle wit and an enviable wisdom." The Boston Globe "At last: a book for frazzled people everywhere.... Full of faith hope and heart." The Cape Cod Times "Marotta's words pop out at you like those 3-D castles in a child's book." The Palm Beach Post I laughed and cried. It brought me a sense of connectedness and joy; It made my soul sing! - A reader in Vermont.

Download or read book Faster Together written by Laura Stack and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2018-01-23 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faster Together Accelerating Your Team's Productivity There are more roadblocks to productivity today than ever before. Everyone who works must deal with countless emails, constant communication, cascading deadlines, and seemingly endless meetings. These can be managed efficiently, or they can be a huge time suck. When you're surrounded by slow-moving coworkers, you're stuck in a traffic jam of sorts. What makes the difference isn't individuals working harder or faster or smarter but “teaming well.” You have at your disposal what Stack calls “the most powerful productivity machine in existence”: your team. Individual productivity is just the beginning of business profitability; the real winner is team productivity. A good team can accomplish more, and more quickly, than any one Lone Ranger. Yes, there are always stars—in sports, Peyton Manning, Mia Hamm, and Stephen Curry come to mind—but they couldn't do their jobs without the rest of the team doing theirs. Bestselling author Laura Stack's FAST model mobilizes teams to be the most effective they can be, while keeping each other's best interests at heart. Using her original model, teams learn to work together Fairly, accept Accountability, apply Systems Thinking, and maximize available Technology. An interactive assessment helps you evaluate your team's current speed and rate of acceleration. By the end of this book, you'll truly understand the abilities of your team. Team members will ask themselves, “How can I help my team go faster together?” You work to save everyone else time, and they work to save you time. For your business to win, everyone must contribute. As Stack puts it, “Team up; don't slow down!” So, rev your team's engines, and you'll soon be roaring down the track together!
