With all the changes in organizational structure, design, mission, and methods, it’s easy to become confused about how to manage…how to lead. Leadership is not that difficult! Working with people to get things done isn’t brain surgery or rocket science. 
The Process of Excelling is leadership made simple. No fluff, no babble, no fancy theories. Just down to earth “how-to.” This book is ideal for senior executives who have lost their way, for middle managers who need a practical refresher, and for the new supervisor who’s trying to figure out what to do. 
The Process of Excelling works in business, government, not-for-profits, and volunteer organizations. In fact, it works in families, too, and in simply managing our own lives. 
The straightforward style of this book makes it a surprisingly quick read, while it’s loaded with powerful knowledge, insights, and techniques. You’ll read it again and again, and refer to it often.

We got off track early with diversity by focusing on sensitivity to differences and by limiting those differences to race and gender. As a result, diversity and diversity management have been marginalized and the strategic value has become invisible. Meanwhile, management techniques have focused too much on identifying specific styles. There have been a series of fads targeted toward leaders and focused on addressing operational issues. In both cases, we have attempted to apply simple tools to an increasingly complex environment. We have not taken advantage of available talent because the link between people management, diversity of perspective, and performance was never made . . . until now. 
Jim Rodgers, CMC, a confidential advisor to successful leaders in dozens of market leading companies, comes out of the shadows to reveal the secret to their success. Managing Differently™ implies that effective people management is the essential key to increasing performance for any organization. People are by nature diverse (different and similar) – and this increases the level of complexity in the workplace. However, getting 100% from 100% of people, 100% of the time is not only achievable – it is fundamental to world class performance. 
Jim uses simple language and vivid examples to help leaders and managers move from knowing to doing those things which produce high levels of performance from their people.

Managing Differently: Getting 100% from 100% of Your People 100% of the Time

Rodgers, James O.

Much has been written of the importance of workplace social behaviors and values. However, "The missing link in the discussions about the importance of social values in the workplace is a process to measure and monitor the use of the behaviors contained within each value." Empirically defining behavioral performance standards makes it possible to measure, monitor and adjust in real time to improve the efficiency of working relationships, in a manner similar to that for improving technical performances. Quantifying such unquantifiables as open communication, cooperation, trust and mutual respect is the ambitious goal of authors Larry and Michael Cole: two respected business professionals who have made their lives and their livelihoods putting the MBC Software® methodology, as described in People-Smart Leaders, to work. Identifying the three working relationships key to the success of every organization, they provide organizational leaders with a fresh vocabulary and a plentitude of tools for fostering this "people operating system": the foundation for a revolutionary systematic process bringing organizations into a new "people age."

"Fortunes Crossing" is an inspirational narrative promoting personal values of faith, charity and self-discipline. Chet, a young businessman suffering from a terminal illness, devotes the last year of his life to "dying with class" and to helping Gus, a recovering drug addict and alcoholic. Chet guides Gus in fulfilling his own purpose in life by helping and giving unselfishly to others, so becoming a productive member of society. The problems these two men face and the courage and mutual support with which they face them convey a powerful message: that the path to self-fulfillment is found, in large part, through helping others to find their way as well. "Fortunes Crossing" is the second of Lowell Teal's Bath Pond Books.

Retire Secure! tackles the number one fear facing most IRA and retirement plan owners:  running out of money too soon. Lange, a nationally recognized IRA expert, offers specific and practical strategies to successfully navigate the three stages of retirement planning: accumulation, distribution, and estate planning.  Retire Secure! explains the tax advantages and long term wealth building strategies of selectively and strategically putting money into IRAs, Roth IRAs, 401(k)s, Roth 401(k)s and the myriad other retirement plan options available to individuals working in the corporate world, the non-profit sector, as well as individual proprietors. The book proves that putting money into tax advantaged retirement plans beats “traditional saving” in the after-tax environment. The book sheds new light on best practices for spending your IRA and retirement plan dollars and your traditional savings. Many readers will be surprised to discover that the order in which assets are spent is not a trivial consideration—it can make or break the bank. It also outlines Lange’s exceptional estate plan–a plan that has been featured in the Wall Street Journal and many other fine financial journals. The book offers financial planning strategies and tactics in plain English that everyone can understand—and using humor and interesting characters in real life situations the book escapes the dreaded dry financial tome tone. For example, Chapter 1 offers a great mini case study that charts the financial destiny of Mr. Pay Taxes Later and Mr. Pay Taxes Now. Both start saving when they are age 30, but when Mr. Pay Taxes Now reaches age 90, he is broke, while Mr. Pay Taxes Later has $1,946,949 left. Chapter 8 is devoted to a complete case study of “Eddie’s and Emily’s” entire retirement decision making process. The book is endorsed by more than 31 leading financial experts including Charles Schwab, and Roger G. Ibbotson, Yale Professor and perhaps the world’s foremost authority on asset allocation. As a bonus, readers who purchase this book can receive a free information-packed CD. "Retire Secure! is your playbook for winning the retirement game and beyond. It shows you how to capitalize on little known provisions of the tax law that will make your retirement savings last several lifetimes, leveraging your hard earned money into a family legacy. Best of all, you can rely on the advice here since it is written by one of the nation's leading retirement tax planning authorities.” Ed Slott, Author Parlay Your IRA into a Family Fortune and The Retirement Savings Time Bomb…and How to Defuse It James Lange (Pittsburgh, PA) , an attorney and CPA, is a nationally known IRA, 401(k), and retirement plan distribution expert with over 27 years of experience. His recommendations have appeared 23 times in theWall Street Journal as well as the New York Times, Newsweek, Kiplinger’s, and many other prestigious financial publications.
