The High Cost of Low Morale...and what to do about it 5 reviews
Carol Hacker
CRC, 1997
Another great read by Carol Hacker!
I enjoyed this book because like her other books, it offers practical advice for the manager or supervisor. It's got lots of practical information that applies to any business organization. A hundred or so people were interviewed for the book and that in itself adds a lot of credibility to the topic of improving employee morale. Those interviewed shared their perspectives on how they keep ...

The Invisible Employee: Realizing the Hidden Potential in Everyone (Unabridged)5 reviews
Elton, Adrian, Chester Gostick
audible.com
Whether you manage 1 or 50 people, this book is for you.
I came across the co-author Chester Elton at a seminar last year. He is very entertaining but most important, his message is one for all managers. It's up to managers to make their employees feel rewarded and recoginzed. The Invisible Employee tells us that this concept is one of the easiest and yet most overlooked aspects of our jobs. Using a fable format the authors drive home the point ...

Surviving America's Depression Epidemic: How to Find Morale, Energy, and Community in a World Gone Crazy5 reviews
Chelsea Green Publishing, 2007
The Book That Cured My Depression
The reviews here for this book so far have been pretty detached and impersonal. I'm now going to provide a personal account. I do not say this lightly: This book saved my life.
Last year I picked up Bruce Levine's "Surviving America's Depression Epidemic" at Barnes & Noble as a sort of impulse buy. I was scouring the self-help/psychology section during what was probably my worst depressive ...

Los Gatos Black on Halloween6 reviews
Marisa Montes
Henry Holt and Co. (BYR), 2006
Atmospheric, Phantasmagorical, Endlessly Fascinating
Love the concept, love the text. Ah, but the illustrations are the main treat - better than a bagful of Snickers and Atomic Fireballs! So spooky, so rich, and full of delicious details - you can get lost in them for hours!

Harvesting Hope: The Story of Cesar Chavez11 reviews
Kathleen Krull
Harcourt Children's Books, 2003
Si Se Puede
Let's begin by saying that the drawings are super and captivating. Yuyi Morales creates characters that show emotion and the result is a drawing of emotion from the young reader. As the title implies this is the story of Cesar Chavez who many adults came to know about from his work with the farmworkers in California. This story humanizes the man by beginning in his childhood. The roots of the ...

Superhero Romance Done Right!
Superheroes are, ultimately, romantic fantasies of heroism. Here, we have a character with old-world chivalric values living in today's world. And in this book, we see superhero romance done right. Geoff Johns writes with passion. He obviously loves these characters. Rags Morales is one of the best artists in comics today. And together they have delivered a superhero story with heart - as in a ...

Alexander Hiam
Adams Media Corporation, 1999
A practical and inspiring collection of methods and ideas.
I recommend this book as a problem-solver if you have a difficult employee, or for boning up on how to be a more effective manager and supervisor in general. Lots of useful methods and guidelines, covering everything from how to give good feedback to how to design effective incentives and boost performance. Hiam goes much farther than other authors to articulate the core elements of employee ...

"What Does The Bible Say About...": The Ultimate Bible Answer Book5 reviews
AMG Publishers, 2005
Easiest reading Bible related book I've ever picked up!
I find this book hard to put down. It's written in dictionary style, you look something up and it gives you every passage in the Bible where that word, term or phrase appears and includes the passage. It's wonderful! I can't wait to pick it up in the evenings and wish I had it around when my kids were young, it would have been valualbe to use as "well the Bible says...". I could see this ...

Ward, James, Jon Burgin

Buy this if you care about Branding
Look, I've listened to hundreds of audio tapes and CDs for many years. I have the entire collections from Trump to Brian Tracey to Earl Nightingale.
This is my favorite audio CD. I have alreadcy listened to the entire program 3 times and it was well worth it. I haven't even touched the multimedia CD yet. It's very educational and done so well. I want a sequel!

Theory R Management5 reviews
Wayne T. Alderson, Nancy Alderson McDonnell
Thomas Nelson Inc, 1994
"THE" Book on Labor Relations and Employee Value
There are far too many points made in this book about the importance of valuing people to adequately do it justice. Wayne Alderson, in his book "Stronger than Steel" talked about his role in the amazing turn around in the early 70's of Pittron Steel Company, and highlighted the risks he took to put people first in the heat of an "unwinnable" battle with the union. In this book, "Theory R ...

Champions Of Faith: Our National Pastime3 reviews
John Morales
Catholic Exchange, 2007
great for youth groups
Our high school youth group watched this DVD and it generated a huge discussion about faith and how we, as Catholics, are called to live out our faith. It's a real blessing to be able to share this type of spiritual witness with kids. The players' faith was genuine and sincere. They showed the kids that even with a very strong faith they're still not perfect and need encouragement and prayer ...

Instead, he gets right into the how-to, including specific methodology for easy-to-implement contests that should solve several of your worst operational headaches at once. You'll be putting some version of Schier's ideas to work in your place the day ...

Eclipse of the Soul4 reviews
Olga Morales
BookSurge Publishing, 2004
Very Impressed
Written as a fictional work, this book is both a wonderfully gripping story and a rich source of astrological and astronomical insights. For anyone intrigued with the effects of celestial influences and in particular the lunar influences, this is a wonderful work. In particular, it prompts the reader to ponder the possible profound effects of eclipses on our planet. While the story is fictional, ...

Real Stuff4 reviews
Dennis P. Eichhorn
Swifty Morales Press, 2004
Killer comic material, straight-up and true to life
I love Dennis Eichhorn's (and, more importantly, his *artists'*) work. His life, real and exaggerated (and don't tell me there are no parts that are exaggerated) is full of sex, drugs, violence, nudity, and is just a darned entertaining yarn. Dennis and me are from the same barbarian tribe that dates back somewhere to Northern Europe, around Roman times. Speaks to the barbarian in all white men. ...
