(Great) Employees Only: How Gifted Bosses Hire And De-hire Their Way to Success

"A mediocre employee in your group is more than one mediocre employee--he or she is a human multiplier-effect, to the downside. If you have even one mediocre employee, you have announced to the world that mediocrity is okay by you, while conceding that you are willing to slow the entire group for the sake of the worst employee. Thus, allowing that one person to stay is not being kind or generous; it's dangerous. It's dangerous for the individual, who knows that, at some level, he or she is doing second-rate work, and who you are locking into mediocrity, and it is dangerous for the group, which is slowed and distracted." --from (Great) Employees Only "Dauten will challenge every preconceived notion you have about making your career take off." --Harvey Mackay, author of Swim With the Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive "You'll rediscover the joy that's missing in your career, your coworkers, and yourself." --Ken Elkins, former president and CEO, Pulitzer Broadcasting Company

"I rarely find comic novels actually funny, so when I say The Weary Optimist is the funniest book I’ve read in years, it really means something—I mean truly LOL funny. I even read passages aloud to friends. 'Win-Win' Cheeseley is an unforgettable character who brings a whole new meaning to the term 'Human Resources.'" Mark Nykanen,winner of four national Emmys for investigative journalism and author of Burn Down the Sky and Carry the Flame If you take a line from the Bertie and Jeeves novels of P.G. Wodehouse, through Garrison Keillor’s Lake Woebegone stories, and the television series The Office, you arrive at Dale Dauten’s The Weary Optimist.  Join the misadventures of HR Director “Win-Win” Cheeseley as he deals with his company’s CEO, Gerald “Genghis” Cone, and Cone’s amorous daughter, Carlota, along with harassment complaints, police visits, executive kidnappers, and even Vladimir Putin. Beneath the laughs you’ll find a wry contemplation of business, capitalism, and modern life.
