“Tip of the Day: Catch up on your Reading! We know you are busy HR professionals, but to elevate your industry knowledge, you might consider spending some time reading “Vision Driven: Lessons Learned from the Small Business C-Suite” by Mallary Tytel. This book offers sound advice on employee engagement, communication and leadership.” ~ Leah Carlson Shepherd, The Daily Diversion, Employee Benefit News and Employee Benefit Advisor
“There are hundreds, perhaps thousands of business help books and self-development books filling the little bookstores at the airport and mall. To me, they are all good in some small way, but they are usually just a rehash of what we probably already know. Mallary Tytel’s approach is different. Yes, the book is full of nuggets of wisdom, each short chapter being self-contained and with its own valuable take-away. But what sets it apart is it uses well-researched and peer-reviewed materials to create new knowledge AND to present it in a practical manner through actual examples. It is loaded with dozens of useful tips, some big and some little, all valuable, and will exceed the reader’s expectations by delivering the goods. One of the best I’ve read!” ~ Dr. Edward Goldberg, Capella University
