Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

Treasurer is the founder of a consulting firm that helps companies and individuals become more courageous in the marketplace, and this book is designed to help managers to avoid fear and operate out of business "comfort zones" that inhibit progress as well as profits. The author maintains that complacency is the same as fear in a corporate environment, and he offers a plan for making "giant leaps" by first harnessing fear, modulating comfort and setting up safety nets. This book also offers clear strategies for encouraging the same attitudes among employees in order to create a more unified and focused workforce.

Synopsis:

Courage Goes to Work is for every manager who has ever struggled with how to get their employees to have more backbone. This book helps managers inspire their workers to move out of their comfort zones and harness their fears so they can step up to challenges more readily and embrace company changes more wholeheartedly. While other books have focused on different realms of courage, Courage Goes to Work is the first book to offer a way of breaking down courageous actions into 3 easy to understand groups, show the benefit of courage itself as a skill, and provide tools to embolden a manager's workforce.
