Zapp!: The Lightning of Empowerment

Jeff Cox

Harmony

Zapp! is a modern-day fable that explores the concept of empowerment in easily recognizable and applicable terms. It details what managers and organizations must do to create and maintain an empowered work force - dedicated to constant improvement in terms of quality, output, sales and customer satisfaction. Most managers know that revitalization in their companies must occur from the ground up. But how can they get that message to employees without applying the kind of pressure that makes them even less productive? Much more accessible than other works on parpicitative management, Zapp! shows managers how to encourage responsibility, acknowledgement, and creativity so that employees feel they "own" their jobs. With hands-on examples, Zapp! shows readers the basics that allow them to use this principle in every situation, from large meetings to one-on-one conversations to formal evaluations, and really get results. Zapp! has been inspiring managers worldwide for more than a decade, selling 4 1/2 million copies in 10 languages.

70: The New 50 is about retirement management--an answer to the challenge of the impending baby boomer exodus from the workplace. For years, organizations have been concerned about succession management and retention management, but few have tried to encourage select retirement-age employees to stay longer. Most companies viewed such a practice as a waste of time because of the strong economic incentive to retire provided by conventional defined benefit plans. But that viewpoint has changed for most of the organizations that don't have defined benefit plans, and it's changing quickly for many of those that do. Government rules regarding defined benefit plans changed in 2006 to encourage people to work longer--and they will because they need the money and because they enjoy the camaraderie and challenge of their work. Retirement management is not only a highly workable strategy, it's also a competitive necessity for organizations that want to retain the knowledge, experience, and key contacts provided by their valued older employees.
