Editorial Review:
From the author of The Game of Work comes a new guide to building better and more profitable companies by building better leaders. In his new book, Chuck Coonradt reveals the secrets to becoming a "better people leader," someone who is always focused on the growth of his or her people. Better people leaders overcome the lazy manager mentality ("I shouldn't have to hold these people's hands") and embrace an active manager mentality ("I am ultimately responsible for the performance of this team"). They take an active role in the improvement of their employees. They encourage growth and create an environment in which it can freely happen. Find out how to motivate, inspire, empower, and lead your teams to greatness-greatness they didn't know they had, greatness that even surpasses that of their better people leader!

Another Great Book From Coonradt 2007-11-27 Of all the management tomes available in the marketplace, The Better People Leader sits next to The Game of Work, Good to Great, and The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
Perhaps more than any other business author, Chuck Coodradt understands how to convincly communicate the need to focus on RESULTS and provides the step-by-step plan every reader craves. Importantly, Chuck has been preaching the gospel of results and leadership for over a quarter of a century...and has never varied from the same basic (and learnable) management principles over that period.
Becoming a Better People Leader 2007-11-27 Chuck has played a large part in my business success over the years. He has supplied valuable training and information which, when applied, was part of the catalyst for success in my business career. I have purchased and shared his new book "The Better People Leader" with dozens of business leaders. A special thanks to Chuck for sharing his talent and gift of teaching in this new book.

Its the people, stupid! 2007-11-12 Chuck Coonradt has done it again. I have read his other works (The Game of Work, Managing the Obvious, Scorkeeping for Results)and this is the best yet. Not only does Chuck share his common sense wisdom about leading people, but his approach to leading people WORKS! I have implemented his Game of Work program and experienced the results first hand!
The Better People Leader 2007-11-07 People -- not only the ones who help us build our business but those who buy our products / services . . . NOTHING is more important! As managers, we have to surround ourselves with people smarter than we are. In "The Better People Leader," Chuck Coonradt details the necessity of finding, nurturing, coaching, praising and keeping your most important asset -- people. His coaching techniques center around his 12 "Attributes of Better People Leader." This a MUST read!
If you can't, or do not want to follow the principles outlined in Chuck's newest treatise on over-the-top business performance, then you will not have fun and perform at the highest level as a boss!

Ted Elliott - President and C.E.O. - Coverall Cleaning Concepts 2007-11-06 Well Coonradt has done it again! His ability to refocus the attention of leaders who are much to busy is truly a gift. The simplicity of the "Better People Leader" should be ingrained in every executive, yet we find ourselves distracted from the most important issue in business, "Our people".......
Having read some of his other books, (Game of Work, Managing the Obvious), Mr. Coonradt once again reminds us that we can never become to busy to develop our people. Nothing can be more important, and as usual his in your face accountability forces you to really evaluate your self and business. The practical "Player Development" sheets quickly have you back into coaching people. I'm a bit surprised he did not title the book, "It's the People Stupid!
Great fast read to get you focused back on people, at work and at home.
