Managing from the Heart - A Way of Life by Manager Development Services Managing from the Heart - A Way of Life by Manager Development Services Sep. 02, 2010 $5.99 127613 words Sample 20%
Author bio:
Manager Development Services does one thing and one thing only; we specialize in training managers in the "art" of managing people. We teach managers how to inspire their staffs to become vested in the success of the business and take ownership of their positions. With this, employees become Career-Minded instead of Job-Minded, which means they show up at 7:55 instead of 8:05. They leave their baggage at the door and are proactive and self-managing. With "ownership," staff understand the principles of interconnectedness and social responsibility - they strive to excel. They understand that everything they do either enhances or diminishes them as a person. They understand that each task, no matter how small or seemly insignificant, adds to their skills, talents, and character. In the truest sense, they are working for themselves, refining their most valuable asset - them. We teach managers the principles of what we call, "Emotional Engagement." Most managers don't want to get into what they consider "that touchy feely stuff." But let's face it; people are human beings - not automatons. And unless a manager learns how to service his or her staff on a “human being” level, “that touchy feely stuff” will undermine his or her department. Success in business is all about relationships. Make raving fans of your staff and they will be willing to go to war for you.

Nick Pendrell was born in Stratford-upon-Avon where he went to the same school as William Shakespeare (although a few centuries after Shakespeare had already left). In the late-eighties, he came to prominence in the UK video industry, responsible for creating the marketing campaigns for such blockbusters as Terminator 2, Basic Instinct and Dances With Wolves. Always having suffered with wanderlust, he moved to Prague in 1991 where he formed two successful companies, including a magazine publishing company, which he later sold in order to concentrate on his new great interest - the area of internet marketing. After experimenting with writing and publishing ebooks in 2001 (unfortunately a decade too early) he moved to Latvia in 2004 as marketing consultant for several different internet companies. In 2007, he published his first book - 'Propertastic's Complete Guide to Hurghada Property and Egypt's Red Sea Real Estate' after seeing the potential of the property market, moving out to Egypt in 2008 where he formed a real estate company. In 2011, he returned to writing, starting work on the 'Internet Marketing Bible' series of books, empowering local businesses with the tools to harness the promotional power of the internet in order to market themselves in a cost-effective manner. The first title in the series, 'Internet Marketing Bible for Accountants' is due for publication on 3 January 2011.
