"With Play to Your Strengths, Andrea and Carol are opening doors for leaders to find greater satisfaction and success by applying a new philosophy of professional development." -Lois Peters Vallerga, FACHE, former vice president of organization development, St. Charles Medical Center and Cascade Healthcare Community Even savvy organizations can make big mistakes, like expending precious resources of time, money, and energy to repair a leader's weaknesses, only to achieve...mediocrity. No leader achieves greatness by fixing a weakness; strengths lead to excellence. Based on their combined 50 years consulting to corporations, the authors turn the ineffective and misguided "weakness" paradigm topsy-turvy and build a compelling argument for boosting strengths in all leaders. When leaders leverage their strengths, they are enormously successful and incite engaged, productive, and successful employees. Leaders and managers-whose plates are already overflowing with priorities, rising expectations, and critical problems-are neither inspired nor motivated to overcome weaknesses, especially when the payoff is negligible. Play to Your Strengths urges leaders to discover, engage, and leverage strengths-in themselves and others-to achieve spectacular results. This is the first book providing hands-on, practical tools to identify and amplify strengths to improve engagement, high performance, and satisfaction. This new system for developing leadership capacity builds self-esteem as it assists organizations in creating employee-development strategies that really work. Play to Your Strengths will captivate leaders and managers who crave stellar performance and fascinate anyone who brings passion, fervor, and a desire for excellence to his or her leadership, whether in a Fortune 100 giant or a small start-up. The reality is that we already possess strengths; we just need to play to them!

One of the world's most esteemed and influential psychologists, Roy F. Baumeister, teams with New York Times science writer John Tierney to reveal the secrets of self-control and how to master it. "Deep and provocative analysis of people's battle with temptation and masterful insights into understanding willpower: why we have it, why we don't, and how to build it. A terrific read." —Ravi Dhar, Yale School of Management, Director of Center for Customer Insights Pioneering research psychologist Roy F. Baumeister collaborates with New York Times science writer John Tierney to revolutionize our understanding of the most coveted human virtue: self-control. Drawing on cutting-edge research and the wisdom of real-life experts, Willpower shares lessons on how to focus our strength, resist temptation, and redirect our lives. It shows readers how to be realistic when setting goals, monitor their progress, and how to keep faith when they falter. By blending practical wisdom with the best of recent research science, Willpower makes it clear that whatever we seek—from happiness to good health to financial security—we won’t reach our goals without first learning to harness self-control.

A page-turning novel that is also an exploration of the great philosophical concepts of Western thought, Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World has fired the imagination of readers all over the world, with more than twenty million copies in print. One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.

From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together
