 Lisa Haneberg always thinks outside the box, and Developing Great Managers is just another example as she tackles a dilemma all managers face; no time for training. This book offers engaging, interactive, and practical "Power Hour" sessions designed to drive lively conversations and build solid manager skills at every level. You can mix and match these hour-long sessions to create training tailored specifically to your organizational needs, then implement your program in a month, in two months, or even more. This is training every manager can handle.

 Most workers approach their jobs and career from the wrong perspective, according to career coach Jeff Garton. In a word, you are responsible for your success in work, not your employer. Jeff’s new book Career Contentment – Don’t Settle for Anything Less offers inspiring and sobering advice on how to be contented at work no matter your situation. With the right attitude you can succeed and even excel as you deal with your current situation – bad boss, low pay, for example – and prepare for your next move. This is a book that employees at even the best organizations can use.
