"The key to understanding how your manager calculates your real value—and how to boost it
More than anything else, you need to understand exactly how your employer evaluates you, and your annual performance review doesn't tell the whole story.
In The Reality-Based Rules of the Workplace, Cy Wakeman shows how to calculate how your true value to your organization by understanding your current and future potential against your 'emotional expense'—the toll your actions and attitudes take on the people around you.
With Cy's clear, straight-to-the-point advice, you can confront and reduce your emotional costliness, become an invaluable member of your team, and even learn to love your job again.
• Reveals a formula for measuring your current performance, future potential, and the biggest detractor, your emotional expense
• Shares real-world advice for quickly boosting your value and becoming a highly-valued, sought after employee and teammate
• Builds on the lessons in Reality-Based Leadership, Cy Wakeman's first book for leaders and managers
The Reality-Based Rules of the Workplace is the essential guide for boosting your value, owning your career, and becoming the kind of employee no organization can afford to lose."
"Why Management Sucks and How to Fix It shows people how to look at everyday management and business problems. Authors Jody Thompson and Cali Ressler teach you to set clear goals and expectations. They talk about the importance of working on the endpoint as opposed to managing the process that gets you there and how to talk about the work without focusing on time and physical presence. The strategies in the book use the Results-Only Work Environment (ROWE) mindset. With eyes set on getting rid of distractions, long meetings, and unnecessary updates, the book offers quick strategies that can be used every day. People can have success with the ROWE mindset even if theyre in a traditional work environment. The book will show you: How to reframe your thinking away from counting on general availability (Wheres Bob?) to creating clear expectations (Does Bob know exactly whats expected of him?) How to reduce the number of meetings while increasing their quality How to eliminate scheduled events (the daily update, the weekly staff meeting, the quarterly progress report, the annual performance review) in order to increase critical thinking and improve communication. The book takes a look at the big picture of work and offers ideas about customer service, technology, and work flow. The ROWE mindset can make you more entrepreneurial, more connected with the broader trends in your industry, more willing to take smart risks, and help you smash tired assumptions about what work has to be."
"Pepper has been hopelessly in love with her best friend's brother, Hunter, for, like, ever. He's the key to everything she's always craved: security, stability, family. But she needs Hunter to notice her as more than just a friend. Even though she's kissed exactly one guy, she has the perfect plan to go from novice to rock star in the bedroom: take a few pointers from someone who knows what he's doing.
Her college roommates have the perfect teacher in mind. But bartender Reece is nothing like the player Pepper expects. Yes, he's beyond gorgeous, but he's also dangerous and deep—with a troubled past. Soon what started as a lesson in attraction is turning both their worlds upside down, and showing them just what can happen when you go past foreplay and get to what's real. . . ."
