A propos du livre

Revue de presse

“I’ve been talking about seagull management for years. If you want to understand how to turn it around, read Travis Bradberry’s Squawk!” (Ken Blanchard, coauthor of The One Minute Manager (R) and The One Minute Entrepreneur (TM))

“There are several powerful leadership messages woven into this entertaining and memorable parable—teaching me when I was least prepared (and most ready) for it. I have a list of ten colleagues who will be getting a most-unexpected gift.” (Kenneth Forster, director, Global Customer Strategy, the Coca-Cola Company)

“Dr. Bradberry provides a wonderful solution with an easy-to-understand and utilize three-step model that allows you to engage your team and generate improved results. Read it, and you’ll see a positive change in your future!” (Robert Savage, COO, Taco Bell, Yum Brands)

“Squawk! is simple, yet powerful, and very entertaining. It provides a valuable illustration of how to get more from your team, and I was able to get through it in just one flight.” (Dennis Sadlowski, president and CEO, Siemens Energy and Automation)

“Squawk has a central theme I find near and dear—the tendency of managers to move so fast from problem to problem that they forget people are involved. People need time and attention, and this book is an important reminder that great management doesn’t happen on the fly.” (Stephen Lundin, coauthor of Fish! (R) and author of Cats)

“Companies are losing their top talent every day, and many of those departing do so on entrepreneurial wings. If you want to prevent this and learn to keep your flock together in friendlier skies, read this little fable and take its big lessons to heart!” (Michael E. Gerber, bestselling author of the E-Myth and Awakening the Entrepreneur Within)

“Squawk! is as profound as it is fun! A must-read for every manager.” (Ron McMillan, bestselling coauthor of Crucial Conversations, Crucial Confrontations, and Influencer)

Présentation de l'éditeur

Sick of managers and co-workers swooping in, stealing credit, and leaving behind steaming deposits of you-know-what? In this fun, illuminating fable, we follow Charlie the Seagull as he learns that the secret to successful management lies in a deeper understanding of what management really is and how our actions are perceived by those around us.
Unfortunately, we ve all been there: the boss finds his staff stumped by a problem and decides it s time to step in. But, instead of taking the time to get the facts straight and work alongside his team to realize a viable solution, he swoops in squawking, dumps orders riddled with formulaic advice, and then abruptly takes, leaving everyone else to clean up the mess. Seagull managers and colleagues only interact with their fellows when there s a fire to put out. Even then, they move in and out so hastily--and put so little thought into their approach--that they make bad situations worse by frustrating and alienating those who need them most.
Through the story of Charlie, a seagull who doesn t understand why his flock is performing so poorly, Dr. Travis Bradberry, president of global consultancy TalentSmart, will reveal the problem of seagulls in the workplace and show us all how to become better performing workers and managers--and less prone to depositing messes on the heads of those around us.
