Hey, as a manager, the absence of turnover and the retention of valuable employees is right up there on the top of my list. And so it should be for every manager in corporate America today. Turnover goes right to your bottom line in the form of loss of knowledge and expense to rehire and retrain.
When it comes to managing people, two things are key:
1. A good manager is fundamentally a good person. He/she learned early on (probably in the schoolyard) that respect for and inclusion of others is a keystone in being a team leader, or even a team participant.
2. Most of us learn to be good managers by working for people we valued and followed willingly, and working for people we hated to work for. We sift through and take the best from one, and learn to avoid what we hated from the other.
But all managers, no matter how tenured, or how they learned their "trade", need to periodically refresh and rethink the way they manage people. Luckily, from "In Search of Excellence" onward, I've found a number of business books that assist me in the quest to be a better manager.
I liked the idea of "Fired Up or Burned Out", because frankly, I was feeling a little bit of the latter. And in this book, Stallard and his partners have put together a concise and fundamental review of how an employee connects, and how he/she needs to connect to the organization and the team. Strategies to keep that connection alive are plentiful in the book, and Stallard uses both research, and personal anecdotes to illustrate the themes. It's a good mix. You should, as a manager, be able to read this book in a couple of sittings, and walk away with ideas that will work for you in re-energizing staff, or in making an "unintentional disconnector" want to follow a path that leads them into "intentional connection".
That said, my favorite part of this book, and I will use the stories with my staff, is Part IV, where Stallard illustrates 20 different leaders (enough for one month of business, on workdays!) from all walks of life, and how they created a connection culture in their world to take their team forward. You will gain a sense of momentum, and fire yourself up with these stories, even if you use no other part of Stallard's work.

Through fascinating stories, Fired Up or Burned Out convinced me of the power of connection, in life and in work. It helped me see what is missing in so many organizations. Just as important, I learned what to do about it. |

This is a very big idea. While it's simple, it's not easy to do, but it's important. Hurry! |

Pragmatic... not PollyAnnaish... The soft stuff counts and Stallard's book helps fluff the pillows... It's impossible not to find some example that will make you rethink your own approach to other people in your working life.
