February 2012: When it comes to managing well, it pays to escape to another world
Good managers know when to take a break—and when to encourage their staff members to, as well. One great way to educate your mind, warm your heart, and feed your soul, is to pick up a good book.
In fact, it’s a delightful diversion that I indulge in all too infrequently. I’ll drive myself over to the public library and wander the stacks until a single book calls my name.
It’s always a random book, nothing that I am hunting for or know that I need to read. It never ceases to amaze me that, more often than not, the book my fingers find is exactly the perfect book that teaches me something that I need to learn.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Beginning in September, a six-month leadership training program will be led by HR expert Alice Waagen, PhD, of Workforce Learning
RESTON VA, August 15, 2008 — HR expert Alice Waagen, PhD, of Workforce Learning will be offering monthly leadership training classes from September through February at the Emerging Leader Institute (ELITE), a hands-on development program that provides employers with targeted management skills training for their key, high-potential managers.
“I am looking forward to this training course, for it provides leaders with hands-on training that is essential for effective management,” Waagen says, noting that research shows the single reason most organizations fail to thrive is a lack of strong people skills among those at the top. “We work to ensure organizations are healthy from the top down, and ultimately if an organization has happy, energized, effective employees they find it reflected in the bottom line.”
