Make A Difference: The Book, The Podcast and Now the Blog Series
Talent Plus
It is entirely possible to be the kind of manager who accomplishes business objectives and earns promotions without making a positive difference in your employees’ lives.
If you aspire to be that kind of manager, you may want to stop reading now.
But if your goals as a manager are to grow your business, grow in your career and positively impact the lives of the people you manage, we think we can help – so much so that we wrote a whole book about it.
Managing to Make a Difference releases May 1 and is available for preorder on Amazon and Barnes and Noble right now.
While you’re waiting for your book to arrive, you can listen to our weekly podcasts, where we take one or two chapters at a time and discuss in detail practical ideas you can start using with your employees right away to maximize performance, engagement and growth. Click here to subscribe to our podcasts.
On both podcasts and every single blog post, you have an opportunity to talk back to us through comments and emails. We hope to hear from you! Until next time, manage to make a difference every day!
+ Dr. Kim D. Turnage and Larry Sternberg, J.D.
This is part of a series highlighting excerpts from our new book, Managing to Make a Difference.
