The Rules for Rising to the Top of Any Organization

by Jeffrey J. Fox, Jeffery J. Fox

star

This book distinguishes itself with some different new ideas:

  • Skip all office parties: The are not social gatherings; they are business. Give a polite excuse. If the unwritten rule is you must attend, go, but stay no more than 45 minutes. Thank the boss for inviting you and leave.
  • Send handwritten notes: They differentiate you as a person of manners.
  • Always take vacations and never leave a telephone number: Arranging your work so it proceeds smoothly when you're gone is the mark of a pro. And, vacations can be enriching.
  • Know everyone by their first name; make allies of your peers' subordinates; never surprise your boss; stay under budget and arrive early for work.

Work & Rewards in the Virtual Workplace

A 'New Deal' for Organizations & Employees

by N. Fredric Crandall, Fredric Crandall, Marc J. Wallace

star

What is the 'virtual workplace'?
It is a world where networks of people engage in work, but are not bound by the traditional limitations of time and space -- they need not work in the same place or keep standard business hours. And it is a growing reality for many companies.

The question for managers is: How do you manage workflow and employee efforts in what seems such an amorphous situation? This forward-thinking book presents an original three-stage model for the virtual workplace and provides case studies that illustrate how this model is working today.

Readers learn:

  • the skills and competencies required for success
  • how work gets assigned, monitored, and measured ** the critical role of rewards and compensation in this new environment
  • how to manage the 'blended workplace' that is a combination of regular, contract, and temporary employees
  • how to 'go virtual' gradually, at a pace that is right for each organization Readers will get a clear picture of the work skills and competencies they will need to operate successfully as old organizational structures give way to the exciting and challenging environment of the virtual workplace.
