1001 WAYS to Take Initiative at Work is about managing up--about
employees taking ownership of their jobs, whether it's an assistant
working for a manager or a VP working for the CEO. Third in the 1001
Ways series by bestselling business writer Bob Nelson, whose 1001 Ways
to Reward Employees and 1001 Ways to Energize Employees have over
900,000 copies in print, TAKE INITIATIVE is the first management book
for employees. Weaving together case studies, examples, quotes, research
highlights, and the author's own "Tool Box" of management techniques and
exercises, this practical handbook will show every reader how to develop
self-leadership, set goals, create learning opportunities, take risks,
build a team, sell ideas, and work both within and outside the larger
organization. Taking initiative is about a former secretary at
Johnsonville Foods who originated and now runs the company's thriving
mail-order business. It's about a technical writer who created Xerox's
popular "webmaster" website. And it's about you. As Bob Nelson proves,
employees have much more power than they think--taking initiative is how
to harness that power and reap its rewards. By the bestselling author of
1001 Ways to Reward Employees and 1001 Ways to Energize Employees, with
over 900,000 copies in print.
