Though the economy seems to be turning around, the impact of the most recent recession has drained the emotional and motivational psyche of employees across the country. The Practical Prof’s mission is to help employees and their employers renew their spirit and recharge their energy so employee satisfaction and productivity can flourish once again. Written specifically to inspire, challenge complacency and provide effective practical strategies to achieve greater personal achievement. Readers will find freedom to bring their personal ethics to work, work challenges will seem more manageable, the way people interact with co-workers will be more authentic and productive, and the impact on the reader will include enriching their personal satisfaction and contentment.
“The Practical Prof - is a leadership handbook for the innovative leader in all of us, across the three sectors, and has special significance for the leaders in the social sector where our battle cry is "to serve is to live.” Frances Hesselbein, President and Chief Executive Officer, Hesselbein Leadership Institute and former CEO, Girl Scouts of the USA
“Leaders in the entertainment industry would benefit from The Practical Prof's lessons - quirky, fun and engaging; plus, keeping the energy going through web chats is a built-in sequel where the audience keeps on learning.” Barbara Herndon, Writer Rugrats in Paris and Acquisitions Editor, Zondervan/Harper Collins
