Essentially an index of any and all behavior based issues that arise in professional settings。 For every issue， there is a multitude of ways one can resolve it。This book is a must-have for any leader （naive or well-seasoned）， across all industries， who may find themselves scrambling on a moment's notice to correct an employee's behavior or situation without spending a ton of （or even a little） time finding the answer。 Essentially an index of any and all behavior based issues that arise in professional settings。 For every issue， there is a multitude of ways one can resolve it。This book is a must-have for any leader （naive or well-seasoned）， across all industries， who may find themselves scrambling on a moment's notice to correct an employee's behavior or situation without spending a ton of （or even a little） time finding the answer。 。。。more

Essential tool for anyone who wants to rise in leadership。 I've used this guide for 25 years to sharpen the saw。 Highly recommend for new business grads entering their first role， for newly promoted leaders， and for leaders who want to restart their career momentum。 Essential tool for anyone who wants to rise in leadership。 I've used this guide for 25 years to sharpen the saw。 Highly recommend for new business grads entering their first role， for newly promoted leaders， and for leaders who want to restart their career momentum。 。。。more

This isn't really a book that you read as it offers more of a framework for professional development。 I keep it nearby and use it as a reference， especially for career development work。 This isn't really a book that you read as it offers more of a framework for professional development。 I keep it nearby and use it as a reference， especially for career development work。 。。。more

Some useful tips for self improvement， somewhat undermined by the constant references to the Lominger Leadership Architect® throughout the book。

This book is like a crash into the competency you want to quickly work upon。 No more than 3 / 4 page per competency ， has good reference to read further and very crisp guide into improving competency。 I somehow feel this is more for an advanced training than a beginners guide to improving competencies

Recommended to me by a client - ties in nicely with job right job design， effective and ineffective performance in a role and the use of Hogan Assessments to ascertain the personality， potential derailers and values in a person。 Will be an invaluable coaching resource。PB

Sweet and simple。。。once you read the instructions for how to read it！Certainly not for in-depth 'self-improvement，' but more along the lines of "oh this is hard for you sometimes？ Here's some ideas on how to work on that- and further reading for you to consider！"Kind of fun， I like having it at the office when I'm stumped with a work-related issue。 Sweet and simple。。。once you read the instructions for how to read it！Certainly not for in-depth 'self-improvement，' but more along the lines of "oh this is hard for you sometimes？ Here's some ideas on how to work on that- and further reading for you to consider！"Kind of fun， I like having it at the office when I'm stumped with a work-related issue。 。。。more

This is a rather extensive tome of HR and development。 Good place to start for odd issues。 I feel people could live in this book and never get outside of it， that'd be the only downfall I see。 This is a rather extensive tome of HR and development。 Good place to start for odd issues。 I feel people could live in this book and never get outside of it， that'd be the only downfall I see。 。。。more

An extensive self-evaluation manual on personal and interpersonal skills。 I liked how the book is structured。 The most interesting part is where correlations between various skills are projected into how one can improve a skill by compensating it by other skills。
