The Library Corner - Volume 1
Some new releases that deserve a place on the bookshelf….
Effective Executive Compensation (Michael Dennis Graham, Thomas Roth and Dawn Dugan)
Kudos to the authors for penning a very readable book dealing with a topic that’s traditionally been drier than a cheap box of cabernet sauvignon. Virtually no area of executive compensation is left untouched. Case studies are included – and more interestingly – they detail a number of executive compensation practices that increasingly are being frowned upon, or sure to invite shareholder discord at the annual meeting.
Strategic Staffing (Thomas P. Bechet)
This volume volume presents unparalleled insights into the world of strategic staffing. While geared more for the practitioner in a large enterprise, anyone who wades through this second edition will come away with some new techniques for more strongly linking staffing to business imperatives and direction. Purchasers of the book gain access to online templates and other nifty resources. Hats off to Mr. Bechet.
Warming Up the Workplace (Frank and Susan Pastizzo)
This book is largely based on the completely engaging presentations that Frank delivers to roughly 150 audiences annually. Frank offers a variety of tips, in easy to read short chapters, that would benefit many individuals in our Type A, greed-driven, “what about me?” society. An added bonus is a set of instructions on how to juggle three plastic shopping bags.
