by Kevin Eikenberry, Wayne Turmel

( 179 )

$15.51 $28.20

Leadership first, location second

As more organizations adopt a remote workforce, the challenges of leading at a distance become more urgent than ever. The cofounders of the Remote Leadership Institute, Kevin Eikenberry and Wayne Turmel, show leaders how to guide their teams by recalling the foundational principles of leadership.

The authors' “Three-O” Model refocuses leaders to think about outcomes, others, and ourselves—elements of leadership that remain unchanged, whether employees are down the hall or halfway around the world. By pairing it with the Remote Leadership Model, which emphasizes using technology as a tool and not a distraction, leaders are now able to navigate the terrain of managing teams wherever they are. Filled with exercises that ensure projects stay on track, keep productivity and morale high, and build lasting relationships, this book is the go-to guide for leading, no matter where people work.

In short, there is a big difference between working at home and being an effective member of a team. This practical guide describes that difference and allows you to be a great remote teammate.

At first, it’s easy money. After all, magic isn’t real and those “occult” objects have to be fakes. But while chasing an ancient relic, an obsessed enemy from his past emerges. Johnny learns that the world is much stranger—and more dangerous—than he ever suspected.

Malignant forces dwell in Egyptian artifacts, Romani superstition is fact, and being a werewolf may be the most normal thing he has to face on this case.

# PRESENTATION tweet Book01: 140 Ways to Present with Impact 19-Apr-2011

by Wayne Turmel, Rajesh Setty

$9.99

If you're in management, you are almost certainly making presentations routinely. It's easy, but incorrect, to think of your presentation as a bunch of bulleted lists in Powerpoint slides. Technical managers, in particular, are notorious for conceiving of their presentations in this way. The truth is that every presentation you create and deliver is an opportunity for you to communicate your message, persuade your audience and get the action you require as a response. So how do you go about creating presentations that accomplish this?

Communication expert Wayne Turmel talked to technical managers at the engineering giant Cisco, where hundreds of presentations are made every day. Presenters at Cisco have to make sure their presentations get heard above the noise. They must get their points across clearly and succinctly while persuading their audiences to take desired courses of action.

In #PRESENTATION tweet Book01, Wayne distills for you the best of the best presentation tips, painstakingly gathered from expert presenters across Cisco. He presents the tips in the ever-popular tweet format, allowing you to absorb the wisdom readily and put it directly into action. You will learn to fine-tune your presentation to its key points, deliver it with authority and style, create and present webinars, and more. From how to speak to engineers, to presenting webcasts that keep your audience attentive, Wayne brings you practical, solid advice from people who sell, persuade and teach successfully every single day.

If your work requires you to present effectively in a business situation, whether to a technical or a non-technical audience, #PRESENTATION tweet Book01 contains gathered wisdom to ensure that your next presentation gets you the attention and results you want.

#PRESENTATION tweet Book01 is part of the THINKaha series whose 112-page books contain 140 well-thought-out quotes (tweets/ahas).
