About this title

Synopsis

This edition is written specifically for Non-Profit Organizations

How much time is wasted daily in your workplace due to behavioral issues? While some executives disesteem what they see as soft stuff, others are realizing they can no longer afford to ignore relationship problems. Emotional and distracting, such problems interfere with productivity and impose negative impacts on business operations.

That's not soft stuff! That's millions of dollars in lost productivity and revenue!

By identifying the causal links between your and others' behavior, Versatility reveals that your success with others is contingent on decisions you make prior to engaging them. Through candid, real-world descriptions of the toughest-to-deal-with behaviors, you will recognize yourself and colleagues and get the tools you need to secure prioritized business results. In an ever-increasingly diverse workforce, this is a must-have handbook for every professional.

Complete with exercises and specific, easy-to-use adapting techniques, Versatility will sharpen your ability to:

- Quickly recognize the style you're dealing with
- Customize your approach to each style-on the spot, and
- Achieve needed business results more quickly and more easily

The solution is a teachable, sustainable quality of leadership that evokes and values each person's strengths without simultaneously provoking their weaknesses - a quality of leadership that wins committed human spirits. Versatility is that solution.

Store Description

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
