Download or read book First Break All the Rules written by Marcus Buckingham and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-02-02 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gallup presents the remarkable findings of its revolutionary study of more than 80,000 managers in First, Break All the Rules, revealing what the world’s greatest managers do differently. With vital performance and career lessons and ideas for how to apply them, it is a must-read for managers at every level. The greatest managers in the world seem to have little in common. They differ in sex, age, and race. They employ vastly different styles and focus on different goals. Yet despite their differences, great managers share one common trait: They do not hesitate to break virtually every rule held sacred by conventional wisdom. They do not believe that, with enough training, a person can achieve anything he sets his mind to. They do not try to help people overcome their weaknesses. They consistently disregard the golden rule. And, yes, they even play favorites. This amazing book explains why. Gallup presents the remarkable findings of its massive in-depth study of great managers across a wide variety of situations. Some were in leadership positions. Others were front-line supervisors. Some were in Fortune 500 companies; others were key players in small entrepreneurial companies. Whatever their situations, the managers who ultimately became the focus of Gallup’s research were invariably those who excelled at turning each employee’s talent into performance. In today’s tight labor markets, companies compete to find and keep the best employees, using pay, benefits, promotions, and training. But these well-intentioned efforts often miss the mark. The front-line manager is the key to attracting and retaining talented employees. No matter how generous its pay or how renowned its training, the company that lacks great front-line managers will suffer. The authors explain how the best managers select an employee for talent rather than for skills or experience; how they set expectations for him or her — they define the right outcomes rather than the right steps; how they motivate people — they build on each person’s unique strengths rather than trying to fix his weaknesses; and, finally, how great managers develop people — they find the right fit for each person, not the next rung on the ladder. And perhaps most important, this research — which initially generated thousands of different survey questions on the subject of employee opinion — finally produced the twelve simple questions that work to distinguish the strongest departments of a company from all the rest. This book is the first to present this essential measuring stick and to prove the link between employee opinions and productivity, profit, customer satisfaction, and the rate of turnover. There are vital performance and career lessons here for managers at every level, and, best of all, the book shows you how to apply them to your own situation.

Download or read book Broken written by Celestino P Monclova and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2021-12-15 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please do not read if you want an entertaining narrative, a suspense or romance novel, a scientific or action thriller. The following is a series of events that took place from 2000 to 2020. Two-thirds of that time I worked for Rikers as a correction officer (CO). In my defense, I must confess that I was too tall, too opinionated, too theatrical, too self-righteous, and I could not keep my mouth shut. If I repeat myself, it is because I think it must be repeated to make a point. Hopefully, documenting the events I experienced will bring me inner peace and maybe give hope to others who find themselves in similar circumstances. This is the story of my recollection of some of the events that happened and often reminisce about. Everything is true. Most of it can be confirmed by newspaper articles, the many docketed federal and state lawsuits, and various other archives. Although I had a hand in trying to lift up a lot of people who were falling prey to the chaos and corruption that ran rampant throughout that whole department, at no time did I ever declare or think for one minute that I was anyone’s hero or savior.

Book excerpt: A bitter enemy of Blue Pete, Bill Scarway, the murderous fast-shooting outlaw, escapes the Mounties to Medicine Hat-to ride, as "Trigger" Sallows, for the Diamond K outfit. Inspector Barker, determined to get the elusive Scarway, dead or alive, asks Blue Pete to help capture him.

Download or read book Helter Shelter written by Prashan Ranasinghe and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Helter-Shelter is an ethnographic account of the manner in which an emergency shelter is governed on a daily basis, from the perspective of the personnel who are employed and tasked with providing care. Prashan Ranasinghe focuses on how the founding ethos of the shelter, an ethic of care, is conceptualized and practiced by examining its successes and failures. Ranasinghe reveals how this logic is diluted and adulterated because of two other important logics, security and legality, which, working alongside, take precedence and trump the import of care. The care that is deployed is heavily legalized and securitized and it is also administered inconsistently and idiosyncratically. As a result, disorder and confusion pervade the shelter. Helter-Shelter offers a unique perspective on the delivery of care, and how this laudable intention faces such daunting challenges.

Download or read book Beyond a Boundary written by Cyril Lionel Robert James and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In C. L. R. James's classic Beyond a Boundary, the sport is cricket and the scene is the colonial West Indies. Always eloquent and provocative, James--the "black Plato," (as coined by the London Times)--shows us how, in the rituals of performance and conflict on the field, we are watching not just prowess but politics and psychology at play. Part memoir of a boyhood in a black colony (by one of the founding fathers of African nationalism), part passionate celebration of an unusual and unexpected game, Beyond a Boundary raises, in a warm and witty voice, serious questions about race, class, politics, and the facts of colonial oppression. Originally published in England in 1963 and in the United States twenty years later (Pantheon, 1983), this second American edition brings back into print this prophetic statement on race and sport in society.
