The Packer Way

 The Packer Way - Nine Stepping Stones to Building a Winning Organization
In only eight years, under the leadership of vice president/general manager Wolf, the National Football League's Green Bay Packers made five straight playoff appearances, won three Central Division titles, and captured the ultimate prize, the Super Bowl, which they had last won in 1967. Not a bad record. This book, written by Wolf and the Sporting News's Attner, outlines strategies for building a winning organization. Wolf describes nine core principles essential for any successful business: problem-solving, hiring the best, attitude, identifying strengths, measuring performance, implementation/maintenance, dealing with the unexpected, and staying on top.

Primal Leadership

 Primal Leadership - Realizing the Power of Emotional Intelligence
Bestselling author Daniel Goleman's theories on emotional intelligence (EI) have radically altered common understanding of what "being smart" entails, and in Primal Leadership, he and his coauthors present the case for cultivating emotionally intelligent leaders. Since the actions of the leader apparently account for up to 70 percent of employees' perception of the climate of their organization, Goleman and his team emphasize the importance of developing what they term "resonant leadership." Focusing on the four domains of emotional intelligence - self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management - they explore what contributes to and detracts from resonant leadership, and how the development of these four EI competencies spawns different leadership styles.
