“A must read for anyone who desires All Hands on Deck
“Richard Warner hits the nail on the head! I simply could not put this book down.” “Don't make your next hire -- or accept your next position -- without reading All Hands on Deck. Highly engaging writing -- I didn't want to stop reading!” “Like a private consultation with a seasoned entrepreneur/psychologist/ship captain/comedian. Now that's value!” Navigating the choppy waters of employee relations is much easier if you know what general type of person each of your employees is. Veteran business owner Richard Warner uses the metaphor of a voyaging ship and its crew to identify six workplace personality types - Explorer, Navigator, Captain, First Mate, Crew Member, and Stowaway and teach managers how to assemble a sea-worthy set of shipmates. The lessons of All Hands on Deck apply whether you manage five workers, or 500, and whether your ship of commerce is a lone craft or just one vessel within an entire corporate fleet. Baby Boomers or Echo Boomers, it doesn't matter. Richard Warner's nautical analogy works regardless of your employee demographics. Drawing on his own experience with everyone from Stowaways to First Mates, the author offers hope (and humor) for managers facing even the stormiest of employee situations. ISBN 978-09707825-40; 136 pages; Index. List price $14.00. Library and bulk order discounts available from the publisher. MEDIA ENQUIRIES:

“Eddy
Kay delivers a critical message all specialty retailers need to hear if
they want to succeed!”
“This
book is timely with no
abstract concepts, just practical guidance for
getting your
business in high gear again.” International speaker and retail trainer Eddy Kay teaches you how to use the big-box retailers’ marketing power to your own advantage… to recognize and exploit business opportunities the superstores ignore… to create an environment where service is an attitude, not a job… and much more. In Thriving in the Shadow of Giants, you’ll meet such successful independent specialists as an appliance retailer who decided it was smart business to open up shop across from Wal-Mart… and a music store owner (pictured on the cover) who’s been thriving for more than three decades by embracing the attitude that “continuous change keeps you fresh, creative, and bright.” Today’s retail giants offer you, the specialist store owner or manager, an unprecedented opportunity to shine. With real-world examples and plenty of humor, Eddy Kay shows you how. ISBN 09707825-00; 136 pages; Index. List price $20.00. Library and bulk order discounts available from the publisher.
“Take
Charge! is a good read – with a marking pen always within reach
– but the chapter on ‘To Commission or Not to
Commission’ makes the book worth twice the price, whatever the cost.” “Destined
to become the manager’s bible! It is one I will recommend to
all new
managers – as well as experienced ones. It has certainly become
my personal management handbook.” Eddy Kay continues his lessons for success in a superstore environment with Book II, teaching independent specialists how to thrive in the shadow of the retail giants by assembling and inspiring a winning team. Featuring all-new material and humorous anecdotes to support Eddy Kay’s timely, practical advice, Take Charge! includes the series’ trademark Specialist Spotlights – profiles of successful retailers who are already putting into practice the lessons in this book. Outdoor sports retailers, a wireless phone expert, children’s booksellers, a music specialist, a custom hardware shop owner… Throughout these pages, you’ll meet independent retailers just like you who are taking charge of their employees, their stores, and their futures. With Eddy Kay’s expert guidance for getting your business in high gear, you’ll soon agree there’s plenty of good news in retailing today. ISBN 09707825-27; 128 pages; Index. List price $20.00. Library and bulk order discounts available from the publisher. |
