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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Gretchen Oltman and Vicki Bautista walk you through the eight steps necessary to craft a personal leadership philosophy: a reflective explanation of the leadership style, core values, mindset, and real-life experiences that make you the leader you are today. When you can authentically tell your story, your school community will know you, what you value, and why you make decisions the way you do. You will rediscover a sense of purpose, renewal, and inspiration that may have slipped away amid the chaos of life—and you can build a stronger connection with those you lead and work beside. Leading in a school setting does not mean you need to lose your individual identity. You became a school leader by following your own unique path. You possess talents that set you apart from others. By working purposefully to share your personal leadership philosophy, you can create a new expectation of what school leaders should be and counter the unrealistic assumptions that others may hold. You can be more than your title. What's your leadership story?
Book Synopsis The Four Tendencies by : Gretchen Rubin
Download or read book The Four Tendencies written by Gretchen Rubin and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Are you an Upholder, a Questioner, an Obliger, or a Rebel? From the author of Better Than Before and The Happiness Project comes a groundbreaking analysis of personality type that “will immediately improve every area of your life” (Melissa Urban, co-founder of the Whole30). During her multibook investigation into human nature, Gretchen Rubin realized that by asking the seemingly dry question “How do I respond to expectations?” we gain explosive self-knowledge. She discovered that based on their answer, people fit into Four Tendencies: • Upholders meet outer and inner expectations readily. “Discipline is my freedom.” • Questioners meet inner expectations, but meet outer expectations only if they make sense. “If you convince me why, I’ll comply.” • Obligers (the largest Tendency) meet outer expectations, but struggle to meet inner expectations—therefore, they need outer accountability to meet inner expectations. “You can count on me, and I’m counting on you to count on me.” • Rebels (the smallest group) resist all expectations, outer and inner alike. They do what they choose to do, when they choose to do it, and typically they don’t tell themselves what to do. “You can’t make me, and neither can I.” Our Tendency shapes every aspect of our behavior, so using this framework allows us to make better decisions, meet deadlines, suffer less stress, and engage more effectively. It’s far easier to succeed when you know what works for you. With sharp insight, compelling research, and hilarious examples, The Four Tendencies will help you get happier, healthier, more productive, and more creative.

Book Synopsis Management Skills in Primary Schools by : Les Bell
Download or read book Management Skills in Primary Schools written by Les Bell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-11 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1988. The qualities that identify a good school are high teaching standards and teacher morale, good levels of behaviour, successful pupil performance and a well-balanced provision of extra-curricular activities. Such schools are described as ‘well-run’ but the correlation between effectiveness and an explicit management strategy is not yet established. This book seeks to examine the role of management in the primary school and to identify those areas in which effective management practice can make a valuable contribution to school life for the benefit of both staff and pupils. It argues that although useful insights can be gained into school organisation from the scientific management perspective, the human relation approach to management has more to offer to those working in the primary sector. The focus is therefore on personal relationships. The importance of a clear sense of purpose is emphasised throughout, especially in view of the challenges which now face our primary schools.

Not just loaded with facts or arguments, What Is Your Choice? reads more like a conversation you’re having in a coffee shop with the various contributors who share about their own spiritual journeys. God is going to use this book in a powerful way!” —Anthony George, senior pastor of First Baptist Atlanta “If you are questioning God’s character, His authority, or honestly just have a lot of questions, this book is a safe place to ask those questions and receive some answers. We remember each going through a season of doubt and feeling so lonely. But this book would have been such an incredible resource for us at the time. We are confident this book will aid you in your journey with God!” —Nick and Chelsea Hurst, authors of Marriage Minded “I have had the pleasure of talking to Dr. Blake several times, and I can truly see God’s light shining through him. This book clearly and thoroughly answers some of the most-asked questions about the Christian faith and God’s Word, and I can attest that Dr. Blake lives his life in accordance to what he writes. Being easily comprehensible for the nonbeliever who is curious about the foundation of God’s Word but thoroughly written for the lifelong Christian who is questioning his or her faith, this book is a straight shot to a closer walk with God.” —Carson Peters, musician from NBC’s The Voice “I first met Eric when he got plugged into The Journey Church in NYC. His reason for doing so—‘I love the way this church is outwardly focused and determined to share the life-changing Gospel of Jesus Christ with New York City.’ Eric is determined to use his life and giftedness—not just to share the Gospel but to equip, empower, and encourage others to do the same because there is nothing more important to give our lives to (Acts 20:24). Let this book equip, empower, and encourage you to share your faith with your family, friends, and community.” —Kerrick Thomas, pastor of The Journey Church NYC
