The Little Black Book of Human Resources Management
Summary
It's about the stuff you learn when you've worked for a boss you'd swear jumped out of a Dilbert cartoon; worked in a business whose performance careened up and down like a runaway clown car; faced legal or ethical problems that needed the wisdom of Solomon to sort out while they roiled your guts at night; and sat on the stand across from some third-rate Perry Mason or tried to be one yourself. It's about what you learn when you've knocked yourself out to put measurable six-figure savings back on the company's bottom line; or when an employee pleads for her job with tears in her eyes as she lies through her teeth to your face; or when you've faced down an employee who was spoiling for any chance he could get to sue your organization crippled; or maybe when you've dealt with the employee who told his supervisor he's going to shoot himself. Like most everyone else, whenever I've cleaned up some HR mess - or made one of my own - I would learn something that I tucked in my back pocket, to pull out as needed when something similar popped up. Some people call this their bag of tricks, or wisdom. I've always thought of it as my little black book.

Interviewing & Recruiting
Summary
This book is about the stuff you learn when you've worked for a boss you'd swear jumped out of a Dilbert cartoon; worked in a business whose performance careened up and down like a runaway clown car; when you've faced legal or ethical problems that needed the wisdom of Solomon to sort out while they roiled your guts at night; or when you've sat on the stand across from some third-rate Perry Mason, or tried to be one yourself. It's about what you learn when you've knocked yourself out to put measurable six-figure savings back on the company's bottom line; or when an employee pleads for her job with tears in her eyes as she lies through her teeth to your face, or when you've faced down an employee who was spoiling for any chance he could get to sue your organization crippled; or maybe when you've dealt with the employee who told his supervisor he's going to shoot himself. Like almost everyone else, whenever I've cleaned up some human resources mess - or made one of my own - I would learn something that I tucked in my back pocket, to pull out as needed when something similar popped up. Some people call this their bag of tricks or wisdom. I've always thought of it as my little black book. Practically, anybody with 15 or so years of experience could have created this book, and surely some would have done better. I guess I just thought of it first. I can't do much about that, but I hope that a peek through my little black book of HR will spare you, dear listener, a few bloody noses in your HR career or shave a few degrees off of your learning curve. This is a chapter-level book. The full book is available as The Little Black Book of Human Resources Management.

Friendzone
Summary
This book contains proven steps and strategies on how to successfully break through one of the most notorious places on the planet - the friend zone. Here you will discover that the process of finding your way out of the friend zone is both a science and an art. A science because it requires careful and guided manipulation of the already present tangible factors of a relationship - and an art because even though the common goal is to become more than a friend to a certain special someone, anyone who wishes to achieve the goal has to be creative and artistic in handling the process. Every person is different. Every friendship is different. The probability of success will largely depend on the critical and creative thinking capacities of the one who wants out of the friend zone. This book simply aims to aid people with both fields of thought - the creative and the analytic part. By the end of the last chapter, I guarantee that the formerly impossible task of going out of the friend zone will not seem as unattainable as before. Here is a preview of what this book will help you with: In Chapter One, you will learn why it is of utmost importance to think hard and well whether or not you should push through the plan of going out of the friend zone. In Chapter Two, you will learn about the two primary ingredients of a relationship - chemistry and timing. In Chapter Three there is a test of how much you know about the person you wish to go to the next level with, and a step-by-step process of the whole trick on how to get out of the friend zone. Chapter Four teaches how to build a new, better, and more romantic version of yourself based on the truths established on the preceding chapters. Chapter Five will prepare you for most of the possible reactions you might get after professing the love for the other person. Chapter Six will serve as a reminder that hard-earned relationships that start with friendship are usually the strongest.

The Power of Writing Well
Summary
"A bad writer has no rights whatever. Any mercy shown to him is wasted and mistaken." H.L. Mencken, 1880-1956 I wrote The Power of Writing Well to address everything managers, leaders, engineers, scientists, and others need to be better senders and receiver's, not to cover everything they need to know about the language or to be the perfect sender or receiver; nobody is. The many books on writing and communicating that claim to be everything to everybody fail simply because they are overwhelmingly complex, full of jargon and useless labels and distinctions such as participial phrase as opposed to gerund phrase, or transitive verb versus intransitive verb. Most of us outside of academe don't care, and we shouldn't since they are not relevant to our needs. This short book condenses the habits and techniques - your tools - that work most of the time for most of the people who write at work and want to be happier in all parts of their lives: nothing more, nothing less . It is also a true and accurate reflection of my 40 years of writing for business and of teaching writing at two prestigious universities and many professional societies and companies. You can trust that what I'm telling you will improve your abilities to communicate and think, and make you more productive, promotable, and happy. It will also make your organization more efficient and profitable. I guarantee it, and my students attest to it .
