 A Note from Tara
 

The trees across the street from my home/office (pictured above) are my seasonal barometers. In winter, they are bare. When spring arrives, they go fuzzy with new leaves. In summer, they wave their leaves in the warm breeze. Now, they're changing hue with each shortening day. Not only are the seasons changing, but there are changes afoot at Zugunruhe, too!

We are pleased to announce that we acquired Zugunruhe.com over the summer. The new domain name is now live! If you surf over to the website, you'll see that we're getting a makeover--like our new banner. Over the next few months, we'll be refining our branding effort to make our website more useful and attractive. Stay tuned!

In this issue of Zugunruhe News, you can learn how businesses can learn to win and get more engaged employees and customers as a result. You'll also find a review of Lisa Haneberg's book: Ten Steps to be a Successful Manager. Lisa gives some terrific advice and guidelines for novice and experienced managers, alike. I think you'll find her book a very useful addition to your library. I loved her book--so much so, that I was one of her endorsers!

Last but not least, here's a treat for you. Free coaching! Click on the Your Treat! link on the left to learn more.

Peace be with you,

 Lessons from a major league meltdown

A lot is being made of the momentous meltdown by the NY Mets. If you're not a baseball fan, you may not know that the Mets blew a seven game lead in their division and wound up second in line behind the Phillies. Even if you're not a baseball fan, there's something important to be learned from the New York Mets.

According to many, the Mets blew their winning season because they stopped doing the little things that it took to win games. They disengaged. It's been reported that disengagement from the job at hand doesn't just cost teams championships. Disengagement costs US businesses billions of dollars each year....

 Book Review
 Ten Steps to Be a Successful Manager

Ten Steps to Be a Successful Manager is a highly practical guide for anyone who wants to excel in their role of manager. Packed with practical advice and written in a clear, engaging style, Haneberg outlines an action plan for success.

Here are some of the features that make this book valuable:
::Tools. Many chapters have a "Tool" section. These range from a list of questions you can use to discover and clarify what's expected of you to ways to spark collaboration by your reports.
::Pointers. These handy sidebars are sprinkled throughout the book and flag information you need to know.
::Worksheets. Lisa provides lots of handy worksheets to help you tackle everything from planning your week to determining which metrics to measure. As an aside, in Worksheet 3.1, the very first question is one that every manager should ask to prevent employee disengagement!
::Tune Up. Every chapter ends with a section called "Tune up and Realign." This summary reminds the reader to focus on what's most important to implement each step effectively.

All in all, this is a great, well written book. Lisa has a wonderful style which speaks with authority without being preachy. She comes across as a mentor who wants to see you succeed and knows exactly how to help you go about doing that. Highly recommended.
