Franklin C. Ashby , and Ph.D., Arthur R. Pell Manufacturer: Prentice Hall Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items: ASIN: 073520263X Release Date: 2001-08-28 |
Book Description
The A-Players, the cream of the crop, the best of the bestno matter what you call them, and no matter what the job market is like, top talent is always in high demand and short supply.Topgrading, the first of Prentice Hall Press' groundbreaking works on gaining the talent edge, showed us that leading companies win by packing their organizations with the best people. It gave us a fool-proof method for identifying the A-players. Embracing Excellence gives you the secret formula for getting them to stay.
Authoritative and practical, Embracing Excellence is based on more than thirty years of experience and an extensive six-year research study of what worksand what doesn'tin employee retention practices at firms large and small. Two of the industry's leading experts, Franklin Ashby and Arthur Pell, join forces to dispel the myths on high salaries, fringe benefits and other stale tactics, and demonstrate how an effective corporate culture is critical to retaining top talent and therefore essential to an organization's success.
This unparalleled work provides tried and true methods for keeping top employees. Moreover, the book is packed with anecdotes, illustrations, real-life examples, worksheets and step-by-step guidance. The Organizational MRI is one of the many practical tools discussed which will help managers assess their current culture and shape their company into an employer of choice for today's coveted superstar performers.
Customer Reviews:
The real question is why more companies don't do this!.......2002-05-20
The basic areas of discussion are; Qualities and characteristics of a great corporate culture. Methodologies to diagnose your corporate culture. How to find great people, including solid tips on benefits, interviewing, new employee orientation, retention issues such as work/life balance, and leadership.
One of the more interesting and somewhat new approaches presented is the "Organizational MRI". Using the analogy of an MRI which looks deep inside a body for areas of concern, and organizational MRI is a process to look inside an organization for culture related issues which may impact employee loyalty and business results. It is an interesting and somewhat unique way to look at a familiar process. I also enjoyed the short section on the "worst techniques to obtain reliable information" which not surprisingly are used often in corporate America today.
The authors also correctly point out that the best way to create a great culture for success is to have the right people. In my experience as an HR professional, I have found that the fastest way to change a culture is to hire the right people who will quickly impact those around them in a positive manner. The book outlines several methods for interviewing and onboarding new employees to capitalize on what they can bring to the organization. Also, the authors make the valid point of looking for talent within the organization as well. Not new stuff, but well presented.
Overall, it is a book worth reading. The only real question is why more companies do not apply these time proven methods to build employee loyalty and business success.

He revolutionized the horror tale, giving it psychological insight and a consistent tone and atmosphere; he invented the modern detective story; he wrote some of the world's best-known lyric poetry and a major novella of the fantastic; he impressed such writers as Baudelaire, Mallarme and Borges. If it's been a while since you read any Edgar A. Poe (he never used "Allan"), you've probably forgotten how terrific he is. And some of his best work is in his lesser-known stories, such as "The Imp of the Perverse" and "A Descent into the Maelstrom." In short, what are you waiting for?Book Description
The collected tales of America’s foremost master of mystery and the macabre in one handsome volume - - 67 tales and 30 poems in all. You’ll find such classic tales as The Fall of the House of Usher, The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Masque of the Red Death, The Pit and the Pendulum and many, many more. What collection would be complete without the poetry of Edgar Allan Poe which includes The Raven, Annabel Lee, A Dream Within a Dream, The Haunted Palace just to name a few of the 30 poems include in this Library of Literary Classics edition. Other titles in this series include: Charlotte & Emily Bronte: The Complete Novels; Charles Dickens: Four Complete Novels; Mark Twain: Selected Works; Jane Austen: The Complete Novels: Lewis Carroll: The Complete, Fully Illustrated Works; and William Shakespeare: The Complete Works. This Library of Literary Classics edition is bound in padded leather with luxurious gold-stamping on the front and spine, satin ribbon marker and gilded edges.Customer Reviews:

Excellent Plethora of E. Allan Poe Material.......2003-11-23
The Father of the Horror Genre!.......2003-03-16
I also enjoyed 'The Masque of Red Death' - a little known short story as well as 'Murders in the Rue Morgue'. Poe's greatest known work - 'The Raven' is also included, and that is by far the best thing Poe has written.
There are not only short stories and poetry. Poe did give script writing a go, and the play 'The Power of Words' is an interesting read, and shows a discussion with a tutor and a pupil over various topics. This script is meant to be read and nor performed, however.
Edgar Allan Poe's best work is defienetly in this volume, and I recomened it for lovers of reading and not just poetry, and vice versa.
"The Cast Of Amontillado".......2002-12-14
Go for the complete works.......2002-04-25
Because all of his works fit handsomely in a single volume, there is no real need to purchase a "selected works" version like this one. There are other "value priced" editions that have everything and you will be better off with one of them. Look for the term "complete works."
Poe's writings do not disappoint, but this presentation of his writings does.
