  Ken Blanchard's phenomenal bestsellers, such as The One Minute Manager® and Raving Fans®, have made him a globally recognized business legend. Now, he has joined with noted business author Steve Gottry to explore one of the most common and insidious problems plaguing the workplace -- procrastination. 
  The On-Time, On-Target Manager tells the highly recognizable story of Bob, a middle manager who tends to put things off to the last minute. He misses deadlines, rationalizes, justifies, and tries to explain. Luckily, Bob is sent to his company's CEO -- a new kind of CEO -- the ""Chief Effectiveness Officer"" -- who helps him deal with the three negative side effects of procrastination: lateness, poor work quality, and stress to himself and others. Bob learns how to overcome procrastination, and transforms himself into a productive On-Time, On-Target Manager through the Three P strategy. 
  With this engaging parable, Blanchard and Gottry tackle the problem of procrastination head-on, offering practical strategies any professional can immediately put into practice to improve his or her performance.

  Communication and Leadership in...

  For some people, Public Relations used to be "that former journalist type who deals with the media." However, the public perception of the profession has changed quite substantially. Communication has become a genuine modern management function. The integration of successful public relations is a crucial contribution to raising the level of professionalism in an organization. "Communication and Leadership in the 21st Century" is a review of theoretical and empirical research papers on this subject, intended for scholars, students, and professionals across these disciplines. 
  The volume focuses in particular on four distinct, but interrelated areas of communication: Integrated Market & Corporate Communication, Communication Management & Media, Organizational Communication & Change and Leadership Communication & Strategies. With special emphasis on the German and European situation and two digressions to China, the authors provide different perspectives on the cross-cultural context of international communications and leadership. 
  The book's four subject areas also characterize the key subjects of an innovative Executive MBA program which has been developed in cooperation with the Technische Universität München. The study program is part of the ¡communicate! Qualification Program, an initiative of the Bertelsmann Stiftung, the Heinz Nixdorf Stiftung and the Daimler Fund. The aim of ¡communicate! is to unite communication and leadership in the workplace, in training and in research.

  Networking for People Who Hate...

  A new edition of Devora Zack's classic bestseller (over 120,000 sold in 15 languages) on networking techniques that leverage the strengths of the mingling-averse, updated throughout, with two new chapters.   
   
  Would you rather get a root canal than face a group of strangers? Does the phrase “working a room” make you want to retreat to yours? Devora Zack, an avowed introvert and successful consultant who gives presentations to thousands of people at dozens of events annually, feels your pain. She found that other networking books assume that to succeed, you have to act like an extrovert. Not at all. There is another way.  
   
  Zack politely examines and then smashes to tiny fragments the “dusty old rules” of standard networking advice. She shows how the very traits that make many people hate networking can be harnessed to forge an approach more effective and user-friendly than traditional techniques. This edition adds new material on applying networking principles in personal situations, handling interview questions, following up—what do you do with all those business cards?—and more.  
   
  Networking enables you to accomplish the goals that are most important to you. But you can't adopt a style that goes against who you are—and you don't have to. As Zack writes, “You do not succeed by denying your natural temperament; you succeed by working with your strengths.”
