Please Don't Just Do What I Tell You! Do What Needs to Be Done e-bog

The author of the million-copy-selling 1501 Ways to Reward Employees shows readers ';how to reach for the sky and use initiative they never knew was there' (Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People). The author of the bestselling 1001 Ways series shows how to get ahead by fulfilling every employer's ultimate expectation. This book contains a clear message: Every boss wants an effective worker to do what most needs to be done without having to be asked. Simple? Perhaps. Easy? Not on your life. But thanks to Bob Nelson, employers and employees everywhere will be empowered by this vital message, and in the process achieve their goals and create a mutually rewarding experience. As brief, to the point, and inspiring as his previous bestselling titles, Nelson's commonsense advice can be applied to any situation, from the mailroom to the boardroom, and is illustrated with a wide array of examples and anecdotes from real life. Helping readers tap into their own intelligence, resourcefulness, and pride, Nelson demonstrates how acts of initiative both big and small can make an enormous difference in the way an employee is viewedand rewardedby his or her boss; he also shows how the effects of those actions benefit the entire organization. It's a perfect first day on the job book; a useful resource for any HR department; and a worthwhile investment for anyone who wants to learn more and go farther in a job, in a career, and in life. ';In a friendly, knowledgeable tone, Nelson explains how to take the initiative and make one's job better or one's customers happier.'Publishers Weekly
