Book excerpt: From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together

This book was released on 2018-04-07 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Too many people are promoted to management with a congratulations, a hearty handshake, and a "Good luck!" The transition from individual contributor to being the person in charge is complex. All too often, organizations select folks with great technical skills and put them in charge without any orientation to what they're getting into. "What ELSE Your Boss Never Told You" is the sequel to the very popular "What Your Boss Never Told You." Packed inside are more tips, techniques, and insights about the challenging, but rewarding leadership position. Gary Winters is a seasoned manager and leadership development coach who created the popular S.T.A.R.T. (Supervisors Transition and Readiness Training) workshop to help fill the awareness void between promotion and Day One. This is a book filled with ideas that seasoned leaders have wished they'd had before their promotion. It's about the big picture and the small stuff that makes up the job. Here you will learn about discovering your X-Factor, what really motivates employees, and how to deal with Follower Fatigue. You'll see examples of how highly effective leaders talk - and how the less-effective ones do. The book covers how to navigate change, fostering loyalty, and even a technique for building your team with tee-shirts (nope - you don't buy 'em for your staff). There's dozens of communications tips as well, ranging from one called the 16 Seconds of Silence, to one that suggests you might want to get off your "but." "What ELSE Your Boss Never Told You" is written in a conversational tone, as though you and the author were enjoying a cup of coffee and talking about the issues that emerge for new leaders. It stands alone, and/or could be read before or after the first volume, "What Your Boss Never Told You." You can start with any chapter and read in any order you like. Winters has coached and facilitated workshops for thousands of supervisors and managers in over 300 organizations, large and small, in both the public and private sector. His tips are all field-tested and have withstood the test of time.

But with her middle sister Jillian’s engagement, Payton’s party-planning skills are called into action. Which means working alongside her opinionated oldest sister, Johanna, who always seems ready for a fight. They can only hope that a wedding might be just the occasion to heal the resentment and jealousy that divides them . . . until a frightening diagnosis threatens Jillian’s plans and her future.

Download or read book Never Get a Real Job written by Scott Gerber and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-12-07 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Young serial entrepreneur Scott Gerber is not the product of a wealthy family or storied entrepreneurial heritage. Nor is he the outcome of a traditional business school education or a corporate executive turned entrepreneur. Rather, he is a hard-working, self-taught 26-year-old hustler, rainmaker, and bootstrapper who has survived and thrived despite never having held the proverbial "real” job. In Never Get a "Real" Job: How to Dump Your Boss, Build a Business, and Not Go Broke, Gerber challenges the social conventions behind the "real" job and empowers young people to take control of their lives and dump their nine-to-fives—or their quest to attain them. Drawing upon case studies, experiences, and observations, Scott dissects failures, shares hard-learned lessons, and presents practical, affordable, and systematic action steps to building, managing, and marketing a successful business on a shoestring budget. The proven, no-b.s. methodology presented in Never Get a "Real" Job teaches unemployed and underemployed Gen-Yers, aspiring small business owners, students, and recent college graduates how to quit 9-to-5s, become their own bosses, and achieve financial independence.

Book excerpt: Acclaimed for her novels of “delectably entertaining paranormal romantic suspense” (Booklist), the wildly popular alter ego of bestselling author Jayne Ann Krentz takes off on a star-dusted excursion to a rich civilization where danger and passion are just a heartbeat away. Amaryllis Lark is one of the best psychic detectives on St. Helen’s, the Earth colony recently cut off from the mother planet—and a place where love defies the most incredible odds. Lucas Trent, the rugged head of Lodestar Exploration, isn’t attracted to prim and proper women and takes no interest in Amaryllis, with her crisp business suit and her aloof evaluation of his request to bust a corporate thief. But when a bold hunch leads them from a wild murder investigation to an electrifyingly red-hot love affair, no power on heaven, Earth, or St. Helen’s can keep them apart.

(Retired Extremely Daisy) heroine, as she becomes embroiled in a right royal rumpus! “One of the best cozy mystery series I’ve ever read!” “A real breath of fresh literary air!” Everything is ready for the coronation of King Charles. The pomp and pageantry has been rehearsed and re-rehearsed, more than a few times, and everything double-double-checked to ensure there are no hiccups or complications. Then, seven days before the big day, one great big complication rears its head. The coronation crown disappears. A news blanket is hastily thrown over the affair, so the general public has no idea the most valuable item in the Crown Jewels isn’t where it’s supposed to be. Unfortunately, the Metropolitan Police and the SIS have no idea where it is either. Daisy has no part to play in recovering the loot. At least, not officially. When Rupert deWinter visits her unexpectedly, in Daisy’s mind it means she has to be more involved, despite being warned not to meddle. When she’s told there might be a Norfolk connection, that’s her green flag! Someone Daisy once knew is responsible for the theft. He’s already been punished, but the crown is still missing. Clutching at straws, the Secret Intelligence Service is sifting through his back-story, talking to anyone and everyone he either knew or once knew. It’s a desperate stab in the dark, but a king without a crown just can’t be. Daisy being Daisy, she’s convinced there’s only one person who can solve the complication! Little does she know, but life and death are a lot more complicated than she ever imagined. It’s a tall order, but can she find the crown before the big day? Check out the entire Daisy series on the brand new rtgreen website. While you’re there, have a look at our 1920’s historical series too, ‘The Sandie Shaw Mysteries’. Take a break from the world around you, just for a while. Relax with a smile (or several!) and a truly original Coronation Special. Enjoy!
