"Knowing what you want from work, as well as

workplace" says author Judee Regan. "You
can support you and your loved ones and get a good
sense of your own personal boundaries by developing
a balanced work-life plan.
This guide is written to encourage and empower people
to become leaders on their own behalf. Taking responsibility
for joy, meaning and balance in one’s work-life
is a very personal choice. Meaningful Work…the

Now, Discover Your Strengths
Publisher:
Free Press
Author:
Marcus Buckingham and Donald O. Clifton
|
Effectively managing personnel - as well as
one's own behavior - is an extraordinarily complex task
that has been the subject of countless books touting what
each claims is the true path to success. That said, Marcus
Buckingham and Donald O. Clifton's Now, Discover Your Strengths
proposes a unique approach: focusing on enhancing people's
strengths rather than eliminating their weaknesses.
Following the co-authors' popular previous book, First,
Break All the Rules, Now, Discover your Strengths describes
in detail the 34 positive personality traits the two writers
have formulated. The book explains how to build a "strengths-based
organization" by capitalizing on the fact that many,
if not all, of these positive traits are already present
within any given organization.

Follow this Path: How the World's Greatest Organizations Drive Growth by Unleashing Human Potential
Publisher:
Warner Books
Author:
Curt Coffman and Gabriel Gonzalez-Molina |
What do the world's greatest organizations have
in common? They know that their most valuable resources
are their employees and their customers. The best
companies understand that people are guided primarily
by their emotions; therefore employees and customers
must be emotionally engaged in order for an organization
to reach its full potential.
Gallup research not only bears this out, but also
has uncovered the secrets of creating and managing
an "emotional economy" that will provide
boom possibilities for your company.
