HRD Press, Jan 2007
The Front Line Guide Series for Managers and Supervisors is made up of the five individual Front Line guides. Included in this bundle are:
(1) The FrontLine Guide to Building High Performance Teams
In life, there are a handful of opportunities that allow us to significantly and directly impact the lives of others in a positive way. Leading a high-performance team is one of the most exciting – people who participate in a high-energy, can-do organization never forget it. In Front Line Guide to Building High Performance Teams, you’ll learn there is a time and place for team building – and there are times when money spent on team building is wasted. This guide points out the differences and suggests strategies any manager can use to improve the collective performance of workers and volunteers. Based on extensive research into competencies associated with successful team building, the book will empower you to make a positive difference in the lives of many people. Drawing on his experience as a behavior-oriented consultant and HR manager, Woodrow Sears also covers such topics as tough love in the workplace, the truth about money and motivation, disbanding a team, getting people to do what you want them to do, and more. When all the solid tips and tools discussed in this book come together for you, you’ll know you’re on the way to having the high-performance team you hoped for

If you really want to become a good communicator, you can do it – with this guide. And the payoff will be immediate and obvious. Written for new managers but full of insight for veterans as well, this book focuses on the communication abilities, skills and practices commonly associated with highly effective leaders. You’ll learn good managers must go beyond simply ordering people around. They must make the effort to listen to employees and empower them with their words. And that’s the most basic of all communication skills you’ll be reminded of throughout this book – paying attention to your people. With personal anecdotes to back up the principles presented, the author of Front Line Guide to Communicating with Employees sets the record straight on powerful theories about working with people.

It presents the concept of “management style” as a set of attributes you can identify, observe and replicate. You’ll learn how to blend your personal beliefs and values with social behaviors modified by what you know in your gut is the right thing to do. The author draws on research involving thousands of managers in some of America’s leading professional, commercial, industrial and military organizations. The specific behaviors he identifies can and do lead to managerial excellence. And this hands-on guide will show you exactly how to acquire them.
