Human Resources Books

The Zen of Groups is a handbook for effective group participation. It achieves this through distinguishing the elements of group dynamics.

The Zen of Groups is written in simple language and makes complex and subtile issues clear and easy to understand. This gives both the beginner and advanced facilitator or group participant alike access to understanding and making a useful difference in the dynamics of any group.

The Zen of Groups also has a section of tools and processes which can be applied to assist groups which are stuck or not acheveing their purpose to move forward.

I highly recomend this book to anyone wanting to develop a greater understanding of the the dynamics of groups. I use it all the time as a resource in my practice as a professional facilitator.

This group puts together a wonderful message of how to manage group meetings with heart. They give clear examples of activities that can be used to defuse conflict, enhance team effectiveness, and methods to monitor yourself and your team for leaving your baggage behind and achieving group synergy. If yours is a consensus-oriented organization, or you'd like to begin using consensus-based decision making, this is a great book. See also their book specifically for meeting facilitation, "The Art of Facilitation".

This book provides an excellent guide to finding and hiring the right people for your organization. If the procedures outlined here are learned and followed, one can be certain of consistently better hiring decisions in the future.

I tried out the structured process described in "Zero Defect Hiring" in a real-life recruiting/hiring situation and found it really helped me to efficiently and effectively separate the wheat from the chaff.

This book is fantastic. It puts many issues in the proper perspective, it has helped me to be a better and smarter business thinker. The case studies are fantastic. They made me think about all the great things that are happening as well as how corruption occurs. Especially the corruption sited in the case concerning the AVECS Healthcare bid in Arkansas involving EDS and the Department of Human Services. This was during the time that Bill Clinton was govenor in Arkansas. It is a must read. It explains why we have a national healthcare problem.

Dr. White has really nailed it with this one. The way that he presents his business cases are OUTSTANDING!!! I would recommend this book to everybody who wants to see some of the real life things that are happening with your tax money!!! You must get this book, you will not be sorry!!!

Who wants to wade through pages and pages of advice on planning? No one. The book provides a concise guide to planning that is easy to follow and implement. The author includes references to other useful books on the subject. There is also a complete index in the back of the book.

After reading (or fumbling through) many other books on project management, I have to say that "10 Steps to Successful Project Management" is the easiest to digest and most logical in terms of presentation. As a business owner who frequently has to take ownership of diverse projects, your book has been a great help. Kudos!

i would like to know what contents does this book contains

This book contains some surprisingly profound ideas on how to hire and retain the best people for your organization. There are some great bits of wisdom on recruiting, selection and interviewing from a broad spectrum of contributors. Also are some great ideas on motivation, communications, rewards and recognition, and even how to ensure employees depart in a way beneficial to themselves and the organization.

The book is essentially the capturing of organizational best practices. Each of the 101 ideas contains a page or two of information. Sometimes this is a quote from an executive or expert in the field, and often is a fairly detailed tactical approach to execution of a key principle.

Highly recommended for being far more than it appears it would be. I would think that regardless of your level of expertise in human resources practices or managing people, you will find something new here. I was impressed with the choices the author made for contributions and presentation of unique ideas and approaches. Well done!

101 More training Games by Gary Kroehnert, I am a trainer myself and I have found the book is great help and easy to use and read which is also important plus the vary good games in there, the layout is lovely too.Every trainer needs this book it's great help.

There is no longer a need to pay some lawyer $400 to research basic human resources legal questions. This book anticipates hundreds of frequently-arising human resources problems and provides answers in easy-to-read charts. You don't have to have a legal degree to read it, either. All fifty states, as well as United States Territories, are covered in a thoroughly-researched manual. Its a bargain. Every company with employees should own a copy.
