Unlock Behavior, Unleash Profits
This is a great how-to book about providing leadership that makes people want to work harder for the cause. The leaders who have thrived throughout the numerous "fad" business management styles are those who have mastered the skills in this book. The author provides numerous real-life examples from her consulting work, which makes the book very interesting and authentic. The examples she uses portray situations most business people have encountered or will encounter again and again. I would rate the book as "required reading" for all managers and leaders. It is a timeless approach to good management and leadership.

The examples bring the concepts to life and you walk away with a meaningful understanding of how to apply behavioral principles in business. This book was clearly written by someone who applies the concepts in taking on real business challenges.

Supplies Missing Link
This is an outstanding book that supplies the missing link to implementing strategy. People make all organizations function effectively and efficiently, and it is an element many managers overlook when implementing strategy. Managers need to identify the behaviors necessary to fulfill strategy, and then align the reward system with these behaviors. Another important point was the impact managers have on the people in their organizations. Managers possess tremendous power as a result of their position/rank on the organization chart, and they need to be more cognizant of how their actions impact people ranked lower in the firm.
