From the author of The Game of Work comes a new guide to building better and more profitable companies by building better leaders. In his new book, Chuck Coonradt reveals the secrets to becoming a "better people leader," someone who is always focused on the growth of his or her people. Better people leaders overcome the lazy manager mentality ("I shouldn't have to hold these people's hands") and embrace an active manager mentality ("I am ultimately responsible for the performance of this team"). They take an active role in the improvement of their employees. They encourage growth and create an environment in which it can freely happen. Find out how to motivate, inspire, empower, and lead your teams to greatness-greatness they didn't know they had, greatness that even surpasses that of their better people leader!

From the Inside Flap
If only I could get better people, we d be more productive around here. I shouldn t have to hold their hands while they do their job. If only I wasn t burdened by the people I manage.
Have you ever uttered these words? Have you ever wondered why you can t get your people to do what you want them to do? Have you ever felt powerless as a manager? The truth of the matter is, you have all kinds of power to get better people and to get people better. As a coach, you can have incredible talent on your team, but if you don t create an environment for success, your team will never be incredible. And without incredible teams, companies don t become incredible. They plod along at best, and falter at worst.

A Home Run!,
By
This review is from: Better People Leader, The (Hardcover)
Charles Coonradt hit a home run with The Better People Leader. It is an easy read and I highly recommend it for anyone in a leadership position. I coach and teach leaders on a regular basis. Chuck's book addresses the "soft skills" of leadership. It intorduces the fundamentals so often overlooked...any leader who will practice these fundamentals will become a dynamic, influential leader.
