Get better!
15 proven strategies for building effective relationships on the job.

- Pages: 252
- ISBN: 9783869369044
Healthy interpersonal relationships are one of the most important success factors for companies. Without them, working together quickly turns into unproductive competition. Todd Davis shows you how to build and improve relationships with the help of 15 strategies. The strategies are described clearly and comprehensibly and are peppered with many illustrative practical examples.
The Katana method
Next level project management.
- Author: Jochen Cholin and Yvonne Kraus
- Publisher: Books on Demand, 2018
- Pages: 244
- ISBN: 9783748131335
The Katana method is basically two books in one: one for readers who have little time and one for a more in-depth study of project management. This is because the method is explained in detail on the left-hand page, while the most important keywords and key phrases are summarized on the right-hand page. The naming of the Katana method after a Japanese long sword seems somewhat arbitrary. Anyone who wants to know how to move projects forward by focusing on the essentials will find a successful guide here.
Strong voice - strong on the job
Your training program for more persuasiveness at work.
- Author: Wiltrud Föcking and Marco Parrino
- Publisher: Springer, 2019
- Pages: 198
- ISBN: 9783662581605
Despite all the digital media, analog communication and with it the voice are still indispensable for success at work. In their book Starke Stimme - Stark im Job, authors Wiltrud Föcking and Marco Parrino explain the surprisingly complex interplay of the vocal organs and their physical functions. They also explain the emotional and cognitive skills that are necessary for our voice to sound the way we want it to. If this hasn't worked for you yet, you can change it - this book shows you how.
The Kata practice manual
More adaptable and innovative with 20 minutes of daily exercise.
- Author: Mike Rother and Constantin May
- Publisher: CETPM, 2019
- Pages: 312
- ISBN: 9783940775245
How do you prepare for an uncertain future? Step by step and with a scientific mindset, say the authors Mike Rother and Constantin May. They explain what this means in concrete terms using fixed process patterns (Japanese: kata) and practical examples. The great role model here is once again Toyota. Even if the strict procedure seems somewhat rigid at times, it cannot be denied that people learn best through repetition. A recommendation for managers looking for concrete guidance to develop a scientific mindset.
