Product Description: Decency: That which is proper or becoming; the quality of conforming to standards of propriety and morality; the quality of being polite and respectable; seemliness; hence, freedom from obscenity or indecorum; modesty. These are among the dictionary definitions of DECENCY, the subject of Chuck Lauers latest book. I cant argue with any of these, but somehow they are not enough. Decency is deeper than modesty ... or what is polite ... or what fits the standards of propriety.
Stories from the heart In DECENCY Chuck Lauer collects a series of vignettes that tell stories of the kinds of behavior that represent aspects of an important value. Lauer is a people person...and a sales person...and he describes lessons learned over the course of a very successful career. Some stories made me cry. Others inspired me. Others reminded me of what we all need to do to improve our lives and the lives of others. A good read and a good gift to yourself and others.
Inspiring and informative, a book for every leader and would-be leader Charles Lauer is the publisher of Modern Healthcare, whose weekly column is probably the most widely-read publication in the industry, but the wisdom included in his book is relevant to everyone - at work and at home. The book's nine chapters will make you think in new ways about your own leadership style (whether you're leading a big organization or a Scout troop), about cultivating a more positive workplace environment, and about how you treat your customers. For many people, Lauer's chapter on salesmanship will be especially rewarding, since most of us never took a class in school and frankly aren't very good at selling or managing the sales process. All-in-all, this is a book that is mandatory reading for anyone in healthcare management, and that will be both informative and inspirational for anyone else.
