Summary

From the author of The Game of Work comes a new guide to building better and more profitable companies by building better leaders. In his new book, Chuck Coonradt reveals the secrets to becoming a "better people leader," someone who is always focused on the growth of his or her people. Better people leaders overcome the lazy manager mentality ("I shouldn't have to hold these people's hands") and embrace an active manager mentality ("I am ultimately responsible for the performance of this team"). They take an active role in the improvement of their employees. They encourage growth and create an environment in which it can freely happen. Find out how to motivate, inspire, empower, and lead your teams to greatness-greatness they didn't know they had, greatness that even surpasses that of their better people leader!

Excerpts

What is it that we love about certain movies? Think about Miracle, which is based on the story of the 1980 U.S. Hockey Team and their dramatic Olympic gold medal victory. Remember the Titans is the story of a newly integrated high school and its football team in 1971 as they overcome prejudice among themselves and the community to achieve an undefeated season. What about We Are Marshall and its telling of a young coach determined to rebuild the football program at Marshall University after seventy-five members of its football team and coaching staff were killed in a plane crash in 1970? Who doesn't feel inspired by these stories, particularly knowing they are based on real events and real people? Even fictional characters like Akeelah, her teacher, and her principal in Akeelah and the Bee make us cheer as we watch this young girl rise above her circumstances to excel and win the National Spelling Bee. And one of my favorites is The Mighty Ducks-the tale of a ragtag group of teen hockey players and their unlikely coach who turn a losing team into a championship team.
