Book Synopsis The Hands-Off Manager by : Steve Chandler
Download or read book The Hands-Off Manager written by Steve Chandler and published by Red Wheel/Weiser. This book was released on 2012-03-22 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A liberating read that will cause you to act in your own best interests and the best interests of everyone working within your sphere of influence.” —John Hoover, New York Times–bestselling author of How to Work for an Idiot The number one reason cited in exit interviews for an employee quitting is “my manager.” This can be for multiple reasons—including one that many managers and executives aren’t even aware of: Today’s employees simply don’t respond to the old hands-on, militaristic management styles. They are highly independent, individual professionals with their own fully developed ideas. Leaders and managers who try to micromanage them will inevitably confront widespread disgruntlement, absenteeism, and turnover . . . and increase their own and their employees’ stress levels. The Hands-Off Manager offers a new vision for all managers. With stories, examples, and activities for the reader to practice, this book shows any manager—new or seasoned—how to coach and mentor employees rather than hover over their shoulders and goad them into action. In this system, each employee’s strength is honored and honed in a climate of partnership and mutual goal-setting—a powerful ingredient for organizational growth and success.
Book Synopsis Two Guys Read Jane Austen by : Steve Chandler
Download or read book Two Guys Read Jane Austen written by Steve Chandler and published by Robert Reed Pub. This book was released on 2008 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the third book in the critically acclaimed Two Guys series by Steve Chandler and Terrence Hill. This time the two guys take on their biggest challenge yet-Jane Austen. Follow their wild and often hilarious exchanges as they fly through Pride and Prejudice and the darker, more complex Mansfield Park. Often veering off into the worlds of music, sports, and history, both of these accomplished writers draw upon their lifelong friendships and shared childhood memories to give dimension to their deeply personal responses to Jane Austen's writing. These same zany digressions and non sequiturs were widely hailed in their first two books in this series, Two Guys Read Moby-Dick and Two Guys Read the Obituaries. Terrence Hill and Steve Chandler share their humorous and touching commentaries and debates with their readers in a way unlike any other, a testimony to their 53-year friendship.
Book Synopsis The Executioner's Song by : Norman Mailer
Download or read book The Executioner's Song written by Norman Mailer and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2012-05-08 with total page 1136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Norman Mailer's Pulitzer Prize-winning and unforgettable classic about convicted killer Gary Gilmore now in a brand-new edition. Arguably the greatest book from America's most heroically ambitious writer, THE EXECUTIONER'S SONG follows the short, blighted life of Gary Gilmore who became famous after he robbed two men in 1976 and killed them in cold blood. After being tried and convicted, he immediately insisted on being executed for his crime. To do so, he fought a system that seemed intent on keeping him alive long after it had sentenced him to death. And that fight for the right to die is what made him famous. Mailer tells not only Gilmore's story, but those of the men and women caught in the web of his life and drawn into his procession toward the firing squad. All with implacable authority, steely compassion, and a restraint that evokes the parched landscape and stern theology of Gilmore's Utah. THE EXECUTIONER'S SONG is a trip down the wrong side of the tracks to the deepest source of American loneliness and violence. It is a towering achievement-impossible to put down, impossible to forget. (280,000 words)

Download or read book Dead Last written by James W. Hall and published by Minotaur Books. This book was released on 2011-11-22 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From an acclaimed "master of suspense"(New York Times Book Review) comes a thriller in which Thorn must confront an assassin whose victims and methods are taken directly from the script of a popular TV show April Moss writes obituaries for the Miami Herald. Her son, Sawyer, also a writer, has been scripting a cable TV series called "Miami Ops" and has been using his mother's work as a central element of the show's storyline. In "Miami Ops," a serial killer is using obituaries published in the local paper as a blueprint for selecting his next victims. But midway through the season, a copycat appears off-screen, a real-life killer who is using the same strategy to select victims. When this serial killer crosses paths with the reclusive Thorn, he has no choice but to leave his sanctuary in Key Largo and join forces with a young policewoman from Oklahoma who is investigating the murders. In addition to the show's head writer, April's other son, Sawyer's twin brother, works on "Miami Ops" as the lead actor. Could one of them be involved in the killings? Or are they orchestrated by the director of the TV series, an aging mogul who badly needs a hit? And what about the female star of the show, a deliciously strange young woman who seems willing to do anything to promote her career. Thorn walks into this hotbed of entertainment business intrigue totally unprepared for the life-altering shocker he's about to face. This loner from Key Largo has brought down his share of killers, but he's never confronted one that was his own flesh and blood. With the pacing of a thriller, and the lyrical prose for which Hall is renowned, this story pits Thorn against a killer—or killers—whose motives are as elusive as their identities.

Book excerpt: Perry Hollow, Pennsylvania, has never had a murder. At least not as long as Kat Campbell has been police chief. And the first is brutal. George Winnick, a farmer in his sixties, is found in a homemade coffin on the side of the highway with his lips sewn shut and his veins and arteries drained of blood and filled with embalming fluid. Chilling as that is, it becomes even more so when Kat finds that the Perry Hollow Gazette obituary writer, Henry Goll, received a death notice for Winnick before he was killed. Soon after, the task force from the Pennsylvania Bureau of Investigation shows up and everything takes an irreversible turn for the worse. Nick Donnelly, head of the task force, has been chasing the "Betsy Ross Killer," so named because he's handy with a needle and thread, for more than a year. Winnick seems to be his fourth victim. Or is he? Kat has never handled a murder case before, but she's not about to sit by while someone terrorizes her sleepy little town or her own son. But will her efforts be enough to stop a killer and bring calm to Perry Hollow? A portrait of a small town in turmoil, where residents fear for their lives, Todd Ritter's Death Notice is a gripping debut from a terrific new talent in crime fiction.

Book Synopsis Two Guys on the Road by : Steve Chandler
Download or read book Two Guys on the Road written by Steve Chandler and published by Two Guys. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TWO GUYS - FOREVER FRIENDS - write their fifth TWO GUYS BOOK. Rather than reading and sharing their views on books or baseball scores, this time The TWO GUYS are traveling and sharing their adventures! In TWO GUYS ON THE ROAD, Steve Chandler and Terry Hill write e-mails, postcards, and letters to each other as they travel the world. Terry mostly takes lengthy travels for pleasure abroad with his wife Miranda while Steve takes short business trips around the country, at times with his wife Kathy. In their usual style, Steve and Terry often launch into digressions to discuss whatever piques their interest in the moment resulting in a collage of places, people, opinions, travel tips, and sometimes tenuously-related memories. Steve and Terry's first fiour TWO GUYS books are as follows: 1. TWO GUYS READ MOBY DICK, 2006 (Seven reviews on Amazon including: Delightful! 5 stars; Quirky, Interesting Fun 5 stars; A Great Read 5 stars; For anyone who likes surprises 4 stars; Melville, Moby & More 5 stars; An inspiring, thought-provoking, delightful, fun read 5 stars.) 2. TWO GUYS READ THE OBITUARIES, 2006 (Six reviews on Amazon including: I loved it - absolutely loved it! 5 stars; The Guys Hit It Out of the Ballpark Again 5 stars; A slightly skewed view of life 5 stars; Even better than their first one! 5 stars.) 3. TWO GUYS READ JANE AUSTEN, 2008 (Eight reviews on Amazon including: Do real men read Jane Austen 5 stars; A hilarious and 'Austentatioius' combination 4 stars; They Did it Again!!!! 5 stars; THREE CHEERS FOR TWO GUYS 5 stars; Another Great Two Guys Read! 5 stars; They did it again.... 5 stars; The World of Jane Austen from a Man's Vantage Point: 5 stars; and Do real men read Jane Austen? 5 stars.) 4. TWO GUYS READ THE BOX SCORES, 2010 (Six reviews on Amazon including: Baseball heals, even if you're a Tiger fan 5 stars; The guys hit it out of the park! 5 stars; What fun! 5 stars; Baseball Reminiscences from a Championship Duo: 5 stars; and voted the most helpful critical review, 3 and a hearty half star. Woud have been five if they had been... fans of the Pittsburgh Pirates... Because this review (and others) write about enjoying the memories Steve and Terry share, it exemplifies that whatever topic the men center their title around, it is their digressions that grab the readers' attentions and make their books so intriguing. This fifth TWO GUYS book does not center around a book; it is all about them and their experiences, opinions, and memories. 5. TWO GUYS ON THE ROAD, 2012 (Is sure to get good reviews too!) I wish I could go out and buy many more 'Two Guys' books... they have a wonderful franchise going... the writing is dazzling, charming, and witty. Dale Dauten King Features SyndicateIf you ever catch yourself taking life a little too seriously, I recommend you sit back, relax, grab any one of the Two Guys books, and enjoy yourself for a while. Michael Neill, Hay House Radio Talk Show Host and Author of Feel Happy Now 600 baseball books are published every year and 599 of them are not worth the paper they never should have been printed on. Two Guys Read the Box Scores is the other one. It is splendid. - George Will, Washington Post columnist
