Peanut butter and jelly management : tales from parenthood lessons for managers / by Komisarjevsky, Chris.(CARDINAL)660428; Komisarjevsky, Reina.(CARDINAL)660427;
Nurture their self-esteem. Help them find and explore opportunities to grow. Present yourself as a positive role model. Hey, wait a minute--AMACOM is a business book publisher! This sounds like something from a parenting guide. Exactly. In fact the whole idea behind PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY MANAGEMENT is that being a good manager requires many of the same skills and qualities associated with being a good parent. In the words of the authors (and they should know--they're the proud parents of six children!), "More often than not, if we carefully listen and watch children at home--think about what they do and how we bring them up--we can greatly improve our chances of being successful in leading adults in the workplace." Does this mean managers should treat employees like unruly rugrats or act overbearingly parental? Not at all. It simply means employees (like kids) benefit from more personal involvement, caring, understanding, and attention. Using stories from their own lives as parents, the authors demonstrate the important management lessons to be gleaned from parenting--and give readers tips for applying the lessons to the workplace. Whimsical, touching, and heart-warming, but also practical, insightful, and direct, PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY MANAGEMENT offers a fresh, unusual approach to leadership. Maybe father (or mother) really does know best.
