Paperback. Condition: Very Good. While some of today's workforce is made up of deep-rooted, dependable staff, a larger portion of roles are transitioning into revolving doors of employee turnover. This impacts levels of customer service, productivity and profitability. The only way for organizations to successfully and sustainably face the new realities of today's workforce and the evolution of employee expectations is through a deep understanding of how to effectively hire and manage shorter-term workers who have a different view of the workplace. This insightful, breakthrough book by Cara Silletto and contributing author Leah Brown is designed to help leaders at all levels discover exactly how our workforce has changed over time, why employers are struggling to keep talent and how to gain better staffing stability. Business leaders know the workforce is changing, yet management strategies have been slow to respond to evolving employee expectations. In a world where employers are fighting to get newer staff to adhere to traditional standards, Staying Power explains how employees and candidates have an advantage over managers and supervisors with greater tenure and titles. Today, nearly all businesses are hiring, and staff have the choice to go elsewhere. The tidal wave of employees with a new mindset regarding loyalty, entitlement and cell phones cannot be stopped, but what leaders can and should do is get to know their new workforce, then build a place where people want to work. Readers of Staying Power are offered insights that will drive big-picture thinking, new understanding about the mindset of today's workforce, and an opportunity to shift their attitudes about who they are hiring. Readers are also provided with tangible operational tools for immediately improving employee retention and profitability within their companies. Readers will discover: - Ways to dedicate more staffing resources to make retention a higher priority and stronger component of the organizational culture - How to diagnose the real reasons staff leave (beyond pay) - Common mistakes managers should avoid that unintentionally cause employee turnover - Best practices for keeping new hires longer. Silletto and Brown's book is a how-to for organizations that need to understand the tangible and intangible costs of excessive turnover, and that haven't yet learned to treat employees as internal customers. The book, peppered with memorable real-life stories, provides fresh insights and proprietary frameworks and tools in three key areas: 1. Understanding the evolution of our workforce by generation. A history and sociology lesson on Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X and Millennials that informs our perceptions of multi-generational workplaces and demonstrates what has shaped our various definitions of professionalism. 2. The issues on the T.A.B.L.E. - those that cause the most conflict in the workplace. An exploration of how workers see technology, authority, work/life balance, loyalty and entitlement differently, and eye-opening real-life stories about divorce and credit card use in the 1980s explain how Millennials gained a different view of the employer/employee relationship. 3. Key areas where businesses can improve to become M.A.G.N.E.T. employers that successfully attract and retain talent. Thoughtful strategies and actionable tactics for improving Management Effectiveness (Communication & Appreciation), Attraction & Recruiting (Employer Brand & Application Processes), Guidance Upon Entry (Onboarding & Activation), New Staffing Models (Scheduling & Advancement), Empowered Champions (Staff Councils & Retention Specialists), and Trust through Transparency (Feedback & Setting Examples). Staying Power reader bonus materials help leaders implement their new learning to take the experience from great read to great results.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Even the greatest organizations suffer great disasters. Are you ready for the storms that are looming? From a leader who has managed high-flying, high-stakes, and high-tech organizations comes a book about what it really takes to lead people and institutions through a major crisis, through the most perilous and unforgiving circumstances, and to survive and thrive against all odds. JetBlue co-founder and former Navy TOPGUN chief instructor Dr. Mike Barger helps us see why exceptional leadership is immensely challenging but vitally important when organizations find themselves amid turbulent times. He gives it to us straight in a book that is as relevant for aspiring leaders (like MBA students) as it is for seasoned leaders (Fortune 1,000 executives). Every leader will be forced to guide a team through a crisis, and it's time for everyone -- from small business owners to nonprofit directors to the corporate C-suite -- to make plans for being their best when the worst comes calling. LOVE Your Stakeholders, Every Step of the WayEvery organization -- regardless of industry or size -- has valued stakeholders, like customers, employees, suppliers, investors, and competitors . and many also work with communities, regulators, and the media. With so many stakeholders to think about, it can be easy to neglect them, forgetting about their unique (and sometimes competing) needs and perspectives. In a crisis, that neglect translates into further catastrophe. In his debut business book, High-Stakes Leadership in Turbulent Times, Mike Barger suggests that no matter where you work and lead, stakeholders are your greatest assets . in good times and bad. Travel with Barger into emergency command centers and airport terminals, where key decisions were made during a 2007 JetBlue Airways winter-storm crisis now infamously known as the Valentine's Day Massacre. Learn how to step up when you mess up, how to engage and serve your stakeholders, and how to prepare yourself and your organization -- operationally, emotionally, and culturally -- before, during, and after the going gets tough. Learn to Effectively Navigate the Challenges of Significant Organizational Disruptions Crises and organizational disruptions have become increasingly common in today's fast-moving, constantly evolving business environment. The world is volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA), and leaders at every level must be prepared for the unexpected. High-Stakes Leadership in Turbulent Times helps readers discover how and why an understanding of various stakeholder perspectives can inform and dramatically improve a leader's response to events that threaten an organization's very survival. Learn about developing individual and organizational resilience -- the ability to anticipate potential threats; to cope effectively with adverse events when they occur; and to adapt to changing conditions to ensure a viable path forward for yourself, your team, and your organization. Learn how to estimate what kinds of crises might be on your horizon, how your stakeholders are likely to react, and how to effectively communicate your way through it. A game-changing, organization-saving book . complete with chapter-end activities, universally relevant action plans, and reflection questions to help you grow as a high-stakes leader.…
