The Better People Leader

From our Purveyor of Books:
You may wonder why I've chosen this book, and others on business and personal ethics, as an offering to our Western browsers. Today, we are searching for guidance to lead us in our personal lives and if we lead teams of people we are looking for guidance there too. The Code of the West and the Cowboy Code offer direction and are more relevant than ever. New titles, such as this one, offer additional leadership instruction. Although not connected to The Code of the West, it feels right to offer these titles to those looking West for answers.
From the Publisher:
From the author of The Game of Work comes a new guide to building better and more profitable companies by building better leaders.
In his new book, Chuck Coonradt reveals the secrets to becoming a "better people leader," someone who is always focused on the growth of his or her people. Better people leaders overcome the lazy manager mentality ("I shouldn't have to hold these people's hands") and embrace an active manager mentality ("I am ultimately responsible for the performance of this team"). They take an active role in the improvement of their employees. They encourage growth and create an environment in which it can freely happen.
Find out how to motivate, inspire, empower, and lead your teams to greatness-greatness they didn't know they had, greatness that even surpasses that of their better people leader!
