Recommendation

Given layoffs, downsizing, delayed promotions, mergers, tardy raises, and more, contemporary organizations face challenges that make this a difficult time to manage employees. You can make one mistake and end up as the villain in an expensive civil suit that an upset current or former employee – or even by a professional plaintiff masquerading as an employee – files against your company. Seasoned HR professional Paul Falcone, who passionately advocates the importance of HR’s role, presents 75 proven tactics – selectively sampled here – for managing and inspiring employees while motivating loyalty and performance. He explains what managers can do to elicit the highest level of productivity from their employees while not getting sued by disgruntled people making the most of today’s litigious society. getAbstract recommends his innovative manual to managers and HR professionals. Falcone’s description of his book is apt; it is, as he says, a “consultant in a box.”

Take-Aways

  • The quality of companies depends on the quality of their employees.
  • The quality of employees depends on the quality of their managers.
  • The strongest, most effective managers are servant leaders who act for the benefit of their employees.

    This is average book but thankfully I didn't waste my time completely because I got at least one take away from this book.

    It's sad the book mentions litigation issues a lot. It feels less authentic that way. Like you have to act a certain way to avoid litigation. A lot of books talk about servant leadership, but nothing exact. All in all it's just a conservative book, just like Three.
