Tired of blaming or waiting on others? Want to know what you can do?

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Every well-stocked business bookshelf should have them: Seven Habits, The Goal, Zapp and now Future At Work.

However, Future At Work, is just as likely to be found in a lunch box or a briefcase, or at a workbench as well as on a desktop.

Seldom does "one-size-fit-all." That is, until you read this book.

Critical concepts for personal and business success are presented in a down-to-earth memorable manner.

Every profession, every job has basics. Future At Work covers the basic-basics of all jobs with chapters on: "Why managing your attitude is part of your job," "Why aren't people listening to what you have to say," "Why you inevitably are what you repeatedly do," "Why some people need to be supervised (and others don't)," to the last chapter which asks, "Is 99% good enough?"

Just joining the workforce or re-tooling yourself for something new, this book makes sure you get back to the basics and don't forget the essentials.

From the Author

Having worked in corporate America for over twenty-five years, I have met thousands of people in a wide variety of employment situations. Some people were "winning" at work and others were not. We have all experienced some degreee of workplace failure. What is extremely unfortunate is to observe people who continue to fail, repeating the same mistakes -- when there are answers that were just missed.

Eventually, these folks blame others for their lack of success or vastly underestimate their true potential.

Truth is, there is a basic set of skills and behaviors, which will create the success we all desire.

Future@Work "fills in all the blanks" for workplace success. Easily arranged from "A" (Attitude) to "Z" (Zero Defects) there are twenty-six easy-to-read chapters which cover the basics. Each chapter has several cartoon illustrations to help you retain critical concepts. Finally, each chapter ends with a set of questions to challenge you to apply what you have learned.

It is my sincere desire, that reading this book will provide the answers you may have been seeking for personal and career success. Aren't you and your future worth an investment in you? Do you know someone else who would benefit from a review of the basics of workplace success?

Please write, I would like to hear from you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful advice!, July 16, 2002
By 
Mark Fairless (Saline, MI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Future At Work (Paperback)
Future @ Work is something every manager needs. It helps you to relate every key business principle to your staff in a way they will understand. I really like the way the book is put together, so that each chapter stands alone and can be applied as the need arises. There is no other book like it, and in language everyone can understand. This is something you can apply immediately in your workplace--you will get results!

5.0 out of 5 stars Be Prepared, October 22, 2001
By 
pat kilbane (Saline, Mi usa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Future At Work (Paperback)
My message to the future is the same message that I received when I was a Boy Scout... Be Prepared. As I watch my children pass into the world of work I find myself asking the question are they really ready for what's instore for them out there. What they will find is that school may be close to ending but "learning is just beginning". I have come across a great book may help someone you know get that little bit of an edge in the jobmarket. The book is called Future@Work. The book touches on personal success factors for the individual and company, communication and process thinking everything that employers are looking for. I thought that I would share this information with the next generation. All the Best! All the Time!

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical and necessary insight for everyone!, December 10, 2008
By 
Aaron Simon "Rogue Submariner" (Dearborn, MI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Future At Work (Paperback)
Nick Synko packages his practical wisdom and insights into the 21st Century workplace with terms, illustrations, and examples that are digestible for children but also relevant to senior managers. For young readers, Future@Work is a perfect introduction to the mindset and skills required to thrive in business and in life. For people already exploring the relationship between their personal identity and their vocation, this is an concise refresher with new thought starters. For teams of any organization, this is a foundation for improving individual and group fulfillment and results. This is one of the best "reading time-to-value" investments you can make.
