Book excerpt: The Wall Street Journal bestseller—a Financial Times Business Book of the Month and named by The Washington Post as “One of the 11 Leadership Books to Read in 2018”—is “a refreshingly data-based, clearheaded guide” (Publishers Weekly) to individual performance, based on a groundbreaking study. Why do some people perform better at work than others? This deceptively simple question continues to confound professionals in all sectors of the workforce. Now, after a unique, five-year study of more than 5,000 managers and employees, Morten Hansen reveals the answers in his “Seven Work Smarter Practices” that can be applied by anyone looking to maximize their time and performance. Each of Hansen’s seven practices is highlighted by inspiring stories from individuals in his comprehensive study. You’ll meet a high school principal who engineered a dramatic turnaround of his failing high school; a rural Indian farmer determined to establish a better way of life for women in his village; and a sushi chef, whose simple preparation has led to his unassuming restaurant being awarded the maximum of three Michelin stars. Hansen also explains how the way Alfred Hitchcock filmed Psycho and the 1911 race to become the first explorer to reach the South Pole both illustrate the use of his seven practices. Each chapter “is intended to inspire people to be better workers…and improve their own work performance” (Booklist) with questions and key insights to allow you to assess your own performance and figure out your work strengths, as well as your weaknesses. Once you understand your individual style, there are mini-quizzes, questionnaires, and clear tips to assist you focus on a strategy to become a more productive worker. Extensive, accessible, and friendly, Great at Work will help us “reengineer our work lives, reduce burnout, and improve performance and job satisfaction” (Psychology Today).

Download or read book 10 Essential Skills for Public Servants A Handbook written by Shahid Hussain Raja and published by Shahid Hussain Raja. This book was released on 2020-10-14 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the 2nd edition of my eBook "10 Essential Skills for Public Servants: A Handbook" which I wrote in 2015 and was published by the Amazon. It got a very good response from the readers for its comprehensive treatment of the subject in an objective and easy to understand and remember the style. At the same time, I also got a lot of advice from different corners of the world after its availability in French, Spanish and Portuguese languages. It prompted me to thoroughly revise it and publish its updated version. Being a public servant is an honour and a privilege on the one hand but a great responsibility on the other. Faithful discharge of your duties demands you to be very effective in service delivery, efficient in execution and honest in your public dealing. This, in turn, requires a public servant to be an emotionally stable person, a strategic planner and a very skillful executive, knowledgeable, about the skills essential for performing the above role. And this Handbook is all about those skills which I considered essential for making you an emotionally stable person, a strategic planner and a very skillful executive. Fortunately, all these skills can be learned and are not inherited. It only demands wholehearted commitment and dedicated efforts to learn them. We can go through these 10 lessons in one go or these could be staggered over a period. Refer to them off and on throughout your career until they become your habits. The synergistic effect of all these skills will make you excel because the human brain has a tremendous capacity to learn new skills and habits. Firm determination through repeated practice builds the necessary pathways in a mind, needed to make them into habits.

Feds apply this "six c's" throughout this supplement training text to enlighten the workforce about the Business Community concerns, values and needs to their workers, which is: Business need employees who are trainable and educated not those who are uneducated and have not been train to learn. In short, innovation, flexibility, and the ability to create higher-quality information out of lower data have become necessary work skills to survive in a global economy. This is why management need to use intrusive leadership like goal setting and self-directing for a continuous maintenance and training plan (quality control elements 1 thru 20) to enlighten the workforce on the bigger picture. IMPROVE PERFORMANCE, CUT WASTE, AND SPEND MONEY WISELY. On the other hand, those companies, organizations and schools who fail to enlighten their workforce on the bigger picture have only themselves to blame for their workforce lack of self-confidence to actively participate in day-today decision process.
