Practical and Powerful Guide for Leaders
Terry Bacon's book is a compelling guide that I would recommend to individuals who are new to the leadership arena, as well as those who are already in management. It highlights leadership theory with practical examples, and the content is laid out in easily digestible segments. Terry combines research based theory with real life scenarios which help the reader relate and apply the concepts to their own situations. I think it should be required reading for all new managers. Great book!

Motivating employees best management
This book is excellent reading and should be required reading for all levels of current and prospective managers. It fits in with current modern research on people management and how to motivate employees and supports the theory that most employee productivity problems, etc, are due to poor managerial style and performance. Treating employees as human beings does wonders.
