We all have a dream . . .

Every now and then, someone will remind me of something I knew but had forgotten or perhaps simply got out of the habit of thinking about or doing. Such is the case with Kelly's small but very interesting book "The Dream Manager."

Kelly reminds us that the best way to be successful ourselves is to help other people be successful. As business leaders and/or owners, we of course want our businesses to be successful. We work hard at that. Yet often we forget to help the people who work for us, with us and around us to be successful. If you are like me, you've gotten that message several times over your career - from Napoleon Hill, Dale Carnegie, Zig Ziglar and any other number of business leaders and motivational speakers.

Kelly has written an excellent story, quick read and compelling call to get back to the basics of helping ourselves by authentically working to help others. More importantly, Kelly gives us some practical ideas and concepts for how to do this in a practical way. The first four steps for you as a manager are to: 1) Write your own Dream List. Examine each of the twelve areas (see below) and come up with a list of one hundred dreams. 2) Spend half an hour each morning walking around, visiting with your team members. Begin to take a sincere interest in their lives. 3) Pull your team together for a Dream Session. Send out a memo or call a meeting to explain what it is, how it will work, and what it is designed to achieve. If you are concerned about how it will be received, have some or all of your team members read the book before the Dream session. And 4) Use employee reviews as an opportunity to take an interest in the dreams of the people who report to you.

The twelve areas of interest to stimulate your ideas for dreams are: Physical, Emotional, Intellectual, Spiritual, Psychological, Material, Professional, Financial, Creative, Adventure, Legacy and Character.

I thought enough of the concepts in this book that I chose it as the primary gift for my colleagues and clients in honor of the yearend holidays.

Dream Manager

I have had this book for three weeks and have read it twice and have had three others read it as well. It has changed my thinking and it is helping to help others. One of the most positive uplifting books I have ever read.






Great Book!

This book is an eye opener, it makes absolute sense in this day and culture. A corporation can only be as good as the employees working for it and no matter what systems are enforced, its the passion and loyalty and relevance to their job that will ignite the spirit. That will be the difference between a struggling or failing company and one that has soaring profits!

Fascinating

The Dream Manager couldn't be a more perfect book for, well, just about anyone who wants to improve their work environment and get back to accomplishing dreams in their lives. Though the book is probably better if you are a manager of people it is simply done and stunning. The first 3/4 of the book is done in story form about a company on the brinks of disaster because of the extremely high turnover ratio. The book is simply about the transformation a company can have when it dedicates more time and effort into its employees. Anyone who is a boss or supervisor really must read this to give you a fresh new look at the employees that work for you. I honestly can't stop thinking about this book and it has been over a week since I finished it. It is a perfect short weekend read!

A business parable about how companies can achieve remarkable results by helping their employees fulfill their dreams

Managing people is difficult. With disengagement and turnover on the rise, many managers are scratching their heads wondering what to do. It?s not that we don?t dream of being great managers, it?s just that we haven?t found a practical and efficient way to do it. Until now . . .

The fictional company in this remarkable book is grappling with real problems of high turnover and low morale -- so the managers begin to investigate what really drives the employees. What they discover is that the key to motivation isn?t necessarily the promise of a bigger paycheck or title, but rather the fulfillment of crucial personal dreams. They also learned that people at every level need to be offered specific kinds of help and encouragement -- or our dreams will forever remain just dreams as we grow dissatisfied with our lives and jobs.

Beginning with his important thought that a company can only become the-best-version-of-itself to the extent that its employees are becoming better-versions-of-themselves, Matthew Kelly explores the connection between the dreams we are chasing personally and the way we all engage at work. Tackling head-on the growing problem of employee disengagement, Kelly explores the dynamic collaboration that is unleashed when people work together to achieve company objectives and personal dreams.

The power of The Dream Manager is that simply becoming aware of the concept will change the way you manage and relate to people instantly and forever. What?s your dream?
