Bringing Out the Best in People: How to Enjoy Helping Others Excel

I bought this book with the intention of developing better skill sets to cultivate supervisor-employee relationships in the public sector workplace. It turns out the book has many important ideas to help create a team-oriented spirit of cooperation. This book can ultimately change the mindset of even the most rigid managers. I personally used the strategies in this short book to cultivate better workplace rapport. I combined the information in this book with my own plan to create an environment conducive to training and professional development for my employees. Although I am still working on this plan I am happy with the outcome at this point. I discovered it is less stressful and more advantageous to demonstrate positive thinking patterns along with regular instruction to keepbeveruone in the loop as to management's expectations.

Principled and practical, the book was well balanced with marvelous real-life examples of the insightful points brought out by McGinnis. Can’t recommend it enough! A must-read for leaders and teams especially, and everyone can get some really good life principles since... we all are interacting with our families, communities, and one another. Every chapter was useful, whether it be digging deeper revelations on a topic I thought I understood, to reminders on how to refocus my energies.May you be blessed as I was.

Read this years ago while studying leadership at college. (A few more years than I care to admit).It is one of those rare books that is infinitely marked by the generous and well meaning demeanor of the author. McGinnis clearly has everyone's best interests at heart and a beautiful and studious insight into the human condition and the field of battle into which the leader enters.The dynamics are simply and directly applied to anyone's context and I enjoy the raw absence of contemporary psychological jargon and perspectives.Just bought this for a young friend of mine stepping into his first real leadership role, I look forward to seeing his emphasis shift from himself to the success of others.I trust that my hope is that which was also McGinnis' goal when he wrote this book.

This is one of the BEST books I have read. It has so many nuggets that there are too many to mention. You can tell the author is religious, but he doesn't dwell on the religious so much for someone who isn't so much religious. I have always had a positive attitude toward people in general and to them become the best they can be is a goal of mine that I am always striving to attain. THANK YOU!!!

Why is this a good book? The real reason is you don't see everyone like yourself. Drawing out to be an authentic leader is because people need authentic leadership. They need you to draw it out of them more than they know. It's others before yourself.

I loved this book, it gave great advice about working with people that is applicable both in the workplace and in the family. I will recommend this book to others.

The book is a good read for a beginner in these areas and someone who needs spoon fed on these concepts and ideas. The book needs to be updated with more current examples of the times. Starts off good, middle and end slow down was hard to keep my interest an finish, but I did finish. read

As described. Good shipping experience

Fantastic read full of timeless advice. Giblin's genius is in his ability to connect with deeper truths through easy to read relatable stories.
