Job Hunting & Careers

McGraw=Hill

Now there's hope for the millions of American workers who've fallen into a career rut, can't get along with their boss, or feel they've reached a professional dead end. In her book, Diane Tracy-the business consultant who Dr. Norman Vincent Peale says "understands what makes a person effective in the workplace"-speaks to the panic and desperation gripping people in all business sectors and levels, and shows them how to take back the power and control they have ceded to the companies and organizations for which they work. Take This Job and Love It shows today's dissatisfied workers that they do have the inner resources and ability to change many of the things that make them unhappy at work. Based upon the author's acclaimed workshops and seminars with thousands of people around the country, it defines a powerful four-step process for changing work attitudes, habits, and perspective to simultaneously satisfy both personal needs and career goals.

Diane Tracy's unique take on successful management showing how to motivate employees through greater sensitivity. This book reveals some precise, commonsense truths about people that are amazingly easy to understand and to apply.

The Power Pyramid: How to Get Power by Giving It Away

William Morrow & Co.

In order to get power you have to give it away--one of the great yet seldom reconized paradoxes of the business world. As Diane Tracy demonstrates in her new book, when managers empower their employees, they gain real power for themselves. Through her Ten Principles for Empowering People, she shows:
<ul><li>Why a clear definition of responsibility is the foundation of power </li></ul>
<ul><li>How knowledge and information are critical to a person's power</li></ul>
<ul><li>How people are empowered when they receive honest feedback on a consistent basis</li></ul>
<ul><li>The paradoxical effect of giving workers permission to fail--and thereby sufficienct latitude to succeed</li></ul>
<ul><li>Why respect for the individuals is the key to releasing one's personal power</li></ul>Particularly in turbulent times, empowerment is the key to maximizing productivity, maintaining employee morale, and meeting the long-term objectives of the company. Empowerment is the only way to create a win-win situation for the employee and the manager, the company and the customer.

Truth, Trust, and the Bottom Line: 7 Steps to Trust-Based Management

Every manager who offers constructive, honest feedback to employees, using these seven steps, will unearth a powerful new management tool. After observing top leaders for years, author-consultants Diane Tracy and William J. Morin have codified these best practices and outline how to tell employees the truth, talk straight with them, and give them the information they need about themselves to skyrocket their performance. 
The benefits are nearly instantaneous, often amazing—and drop directly to the bottom line. These trust-builders help managers improve team members' performances, reduce errors, cut costs, serve customers better, and make the job of managing a truly winning experience. The authors explain how to achieve world-class performance by: 
*nurturing, motivating and retaining top talent *increasing the flexibility and adaptability of the team *coaching employees to create their own best performance 
Through the use of the book's "Personal Applications" sidebars, this method can also be used to increase the effectiveness of personal relationships as well—with significant others, spouses, children, and friends.
