Through the inspirational story of business leaders Peggy Sinclair and Andy Longclaw, Blanchard and Bowles reveal the secret of Gung Ho--a revolutionary technique to boost enthusiasm and performance and usher in astonishing results for any organization. The three principles of Gung Ho are: The Spirit of the Squirrel The Way of the Beaver The Gift of the Goose These three cornerstones of Gung Ho are surprisingly simple and yet amazingly powerful.

Their principles are so powerful that business leaders, reviewing the manuscript for Ken and Sheldon, have written to say, "Sorry. Ignored instructions. Have photocopied for everyone. I promise to buy books, but can't wait. We need now!" Like Raving Fans, Gung Ho! delivers.

Book Synopsis Foundations of Management by : Robert Kreitner

Download or read book Foundations of Management written by Robert Kreitner. This book was released on 2004-03-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to demand for a brief introductory management textbook, noted author Robert Kreitner presents Foundations of Management. Fourteen concise chapters cover all the basic functions of management without sacrificing any core concepts, real-world cases and examples, or pedagogy. Due to its succinct coverage, this versatile text can be used in business and management courses at both the undergraduate- and graduate-level, as well as professional programs (including nursing, law, medicine, health-care administration, and public administration). As always, Kreitner focuses on four overarching themes: change, skill development, diversity, and ethics. This integrated, skills-based approach helps students to prepare for real-world contingencies. Hands-On Exercises (for individuals and teams) at the end of every chapter encourage students to develop increased self-awareness and build their managerial skills through a variety of assignments. Chapter-opening vignettes provide a practical context for the material by featuring interesting stories about real organizations, managers, and entrepreneurs. These profiles cover a range of organizations, including Harley-Davidson, NBC, India's Wipro Ltd., and Ameritrade and E-Trade. Three types of features appear throughout the text: World of Management, Diversity in Action, and Best Practices. Internet Exercises prompt students to learn more about relevant managerial topics and problems online. Managers in Action Case Studies raise thoughtful questions about management practices in the real world. Ethical Hot Seat exercises test students' ethical reasoning skills.
