a Better Workplace through Attitude, Action, and Appreciation Softcover: 300 pages
Everyday Excellence looks at the core of quality - people. If we want to achieve everyday excellence, we must do it for people and with people. People either have the right attitude or they don’t. They take the right action, or they don’t. They appreciate what they receive, or they don’t. "Attitude, action and appreciation" actually form a cycle of excellence, since appreciation often stimulates, fosters, and encourages a better attitude. It all comes down to how we approach ourselves and how we interact with other people. Once we look for them, we find that the opportunities to practice and apply excellence in the workplace occur minute-by-minute throughout the day. These moments comprise the heart of everyday excellence. Note to Administrators: This is an excellent and economical book to buy in quantity for your department leaders and direct reports. It will provide a shot in the arm and a universal language of "esprit de corps" - helping you to elevate your employee culture and accelerate your change momentum. This book is designed as easy but inspiring reading for the busy leader, manager, supervisor, and professional in an office. It provides ten chapters of interconnected short stories and lessons. The lessons contain viewpoints and opinions, and hopefully new perspectives and insights. While the short stories are interconnected, each lesson stands alone. This, together with a very detailed index, enables the reader to use the book as a reference source. Major topics covered include:
