        Work Made Fun Gets Done

        Easy Ways to Boost Energy, Morale, and Results

        by Bob Nelson and Mario Tamayo

        Every business needs happy, engaged, and motivated employees, whether it’s a major corporation or one of the over thirty million small businesses in America today. Most elements in modern business work against this basic need: constant change and increasing stress from both the speed of business and its complexity, as well as the expansive application of technology to all aspects of business. Work Made Fun Gets Done gives the reader simple, practical ideas for instantly bringing fun into the workplace. Based on examples from scores of real companies like Pinterest, Asana, Bank of America, Genentech, Zappos, Honda, General Mills, Microsoft, and many more, as well as the authors’ collective experience, this book provides clear behavioral examples on exactly what managers can do to immediately lighten the tone of the work environment and excite their teams. The book, written in a fun style, contains lighthearted illustrations and callout boxes to highlight fun practices.

        Do What Matters Most

        Lead with a Vision, Manage with a Plan, Prioritize Your Time

        by Rob Shallenberger & Steve Shallenberger

        In working with more than 724 managers and leaders from more than fifty different organizations, Steven and Robert Shallenberger were shocked to discover that although 68 percent of them feel like their number one challenge is time management, 80 percent don’t have a clear process. Despite the availability of so many books, seminars, and workshops on time management, there is still a huge need. Drawing on forty years of leadership research, Steven and Robert Shallenberger offer three simple principles that the top 10 percent of leaders use to “do what matters most.” They found that successful executives lead with a vision, manage with a plan, and prioritize their time. Implementing these simple and easy-to-understand principles, supported by tools like their Personal Productivity Assessment and Pre-Week Planning process, you will learn how to live a life by design, not by default. You’ll feel the power that comes with a sense of control, direction, and purpose.

        Trusted Leader

        8 Pillars That Drive Results

        by David Horsager

        “A lack of trust is your biggest expense,” says David Horsager, a message he has brought to Fortune 500 companies, nonprofits, and governments the world over. Without trust, transactions cannot occur. Without trust, influence is destroyed. Without trust, organizations lose productivity, relationships, reputation, talent, customer loyalty, creativity, morale, revenue, and results. And there is a reliable, research-based, repeatedly proven-in-practice way to build trust. In this book, Horsager uses the popular business fable format to make his method accessible to as wide an audience as possible. Horsager tells the story of a young software executive facing a critical deadline who discovers the eight Pillars of Trust: clarity, compassion, character, competency, commitment, connection, contribution, and consistency.In the remaining third of the book, Horsager departs from the story to go deeply into the eight Pillars of Trust, describing the research behind them and offering tools for applying them. Trust, not money, is the currency of business and life, and this is a comprehensive guide to building it.

        by Jennifer Brown

        Human potential is unleashed when we feel like we belong. That’s why inclusive workplaces experience higher engagement, performance, and profits. But the reality is that many people still feel unable to bring their true selves to work. In a world where the talent pool is becoming increasingly diverse, it’s more important than ever for leaders to truly understand how to support inclusion.Drawing on years of work with many leading organizations, Jennifer Brown shows what leaders at any level can do to spark real change. She guides readers through the Inclusive Leader Continuum, a set of four developmental stages: unaware, aware, active, and advocate. Brown describes the hallmarks of each stage, the behaviors and mind-sets that inform it, and what readers can do to keep progressing. Whether you’re a powerful CEO or a new employee without direct reports, there are actions you can take that can drastically change the day-to-day reality for your colleagues and the trajectory of your organization.Anyone can—and should—be an inclusive leader. Brown lays out simple steps to help you understand your role, boost your self-awareness, take action, and become a better version of yourself in the process. This book will meet you where you are and provide a road map to create a workplace of greater mutual understanding where everyone’s talents can shine.

        The Art of Caring Leadership

        How Leading with Heart Uplifts Teams and Organizations

        by Heather R. Younger

        Here’s the thing: most leaders think of themselves as caring leaders, but not all of them act in alignment with what that means for employees. Leaders may not be able to identify the level of care they are extending to their employees, but all employees intuitively know whether their bosses or managers are caring for them. Heather Younger argues that if you are looking for increased productivity, customer satisfaction, or employee engagement, you need to care for your employees first.Genuinely caring for people means that you want to see them succeed for themselves, not just for what they can do for you, your team, or your organization. This book incorporates ten sections with breakout stories and interviews that outline the necessary steps to make all employees feel included and cared for, as well as a call to action for all leaders. Younger states that leaders who have the positive power to change the lives of those they lead shouldn’t just want to care for them; they should see it as imperative for the success of their employees and their organization.

        Humble Inquiry, Second Edition

        The Gentle Art of Asking Instead of Telling

        by Edgar H. Schein & Peter A. Schein

        We live, say Ed and Peter Schein, in a culture of “tell.” Rather than trying to genuinely relate to other people, we tell them what we think they need to know or should do. This is particularly problematic between superiors and subordinates because anybody anywhere could have that vital fact or spot that fatal flaw that could mean the difference between success or disaster. Humble Inquiry encourages honest and open interactions, stimulates creative thinking, and protects against costly misunderstandings and mistakes. Edgar and Peter Schein defines Humble Inquiry as “the fine art of drawing someone out . . . of building a relationship based on curiosity and interest in the other person.” In this seminal work, the authors look at how Humble Inquiry differs from other kinds of inquiry, offer examples of it in action, and show how to overcome the cultural, organizational and psychological barriers that keep us from practicing it. This second edition has been updated throughout with new examples and a new chapter that shows how a lack of Humble Inquiry is at the root of so many modern organizational problems.
