The People Secret

admin — Sun, 03 Feb 2019 06:22:31 +0000

Every business has three areas of focus: a product or service, work processes and people. Most businesses do the first two right. Many struggle with the third. They focus on building their business, and ignore building their people. And as Zig Ziglar said, "You don't build a business-you build people-and then people build the business." As you read this book, you will realize that "The People Secret" is not a secret at all. We all know the right way to lead-and that there is no such thing as employee relations - only human relations. Jack Hoban and Jim Liggett retired from UPS with a combined 54 years of management experience. They understand that the best management people possessed strong people skills as well as strong operations skills. But it was their people skills that separated them from the rest.

Many of the black's were left with nothing, no work, little housing and very little hope or opportunity. They were left with drugs, death and violence. Follow Sergeant Smith's career from the beginning to end. A career that saw many of his fellow officers and friends killed, wounded and injured policing the tough streets of Richmond and the Bay Area. Having served in many police details within the police department, he experienced what it was to be a white American who grew up near the Amish Country, in the farmland of Pennsylvania during the start of the civil rights movement. Martin Luther Kings, "I have a dream" speech in nearby Washington D.C., who then found himself in the battlegrounds of the inner-city. A city where the black community he served complained of police brutality, unjustified police shootings, and unfair profiling because of the color of their skin. A police department where Federal Lawsuits led to consent degrees that did not benefit the good of the department but led to internal strife among the sworn personnel. The results of Affirmative Action policies in hiring, promotions, and the effects felt within the agency which had been served by more than 90% of white sworn officers from its start in 1905.
