Each chap-ter ends with discussion questions to encourage additional thought. Sample forms and templates plus a list of additional resources are also included.

The latest edition of The Big Book of HR includes up-to-date information about how to:

* Select, engage, and retain the best talent for your organization.

* Develop attractive and fair compensation and benefits programs.

The MultigenerationalSales TeamHarness the Power of New Perspectives to Sell More, Retain Top Talent, and Design a High-Performing Workplace

Warren Shiver and David Szen

A business’s greatest asset is its experience combined with its innovation. According to estimates by the US Department of Labor, Millennials will represent roughly almost 50% of the workforce in less than 10 years. A flood of blogs, articles, and books are already trying to help professionals and executives understand how the clash of Millennial, Generation X, and Boomer preferences will impact their business and personal careers.

The Multigenerational Sales Team focuses on the increasing need for sales organizations to more effectively leverage talent from generational groups who think, sell, and buy in vastly different ways. It addresses the challenges that many organizations are facing right now:

* How can generations with different perspectives find ways to success- fully work together?

* How should you recruit, train, and deploy different generations of salespeople to build an effective sales team?

* How can sellers identify and address the generational “silent killers” within the sales process?

You will learn how to overcome these obstacles by adjusting internal practices including recruitment, development, and management of sales-people. You will also learn how to improve client-facing activities for better diagnosis and accommodation of buyers’ preferences. With The Multigenerational Sales Team as a guide, sales professionals and teams who begin this transformation will learn to leverage each generation’s unique strengths to drive improvements in both individual and organi-zational performance.

Rick Rodgers, CFP®, is co- founder and president of Rodgers & Associates, a wealth management firm in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He is one of America’s leading retirement specialists and has been featured

in the New York Times, Smart Money, Investment News, Kiplinger’s Retirement Report, and Medical Economics. He has appeared on dozens of television programs, from FOX Business Network to The 700 Club, and has offered millions of people tips on how to plan for a successful retirement.

Don’t Retire BrokeAn Indispensable Guide to Tax-Efficient Retirement Planning and Financial Freedom

Rick Rodgers, CFP®

“Don’t Retire Broke is not meant to be read after retirement; it has to be read, absorbed, and assimilated while you are working. I highly recommend this book be included in the curriculum of business schools.”

—Ashraf Chaudhry, author, The Craft of Selling “Yourself”

“What a great read! Simple enough that most everyone should be able to understand its importance.”

—Les Willson, counselor, Financial Peace University

“This is must read for those who are seeking advice on how best to invest for their retirement years and have yet to develop a plan for themselves and family.”

—Gerard L. Glenn, past chairman of the board, SCORE Association, SCORE Foundation Retirement planning was simple and predictable 40 years ago. All you needed was your company pension, personal savings, and Social Security.

Those days are long gone. Most public pensions are underfunded, and private companies can’t get rid of them fast enough. Social Security’s own trustees predict it will run out of money in less than 20 years. And most people haven’t saved even a fraction of what they should.

Retiring comfortably today is not about saving more, it’s about saving smart. In Don’t Retire Broke, you will learn:

* About the traps to avoid before you retire.

* How to maximize Social Security benefits.

* What to do now if you still have a pension.

* How to keep the IRS out of your IRA.

Isn’t it time to make sure you don’t retire broke?

member at the University of Santa Monica, teaching their Soul-Centered Professional Coaching pro-gram.

He is also the founder of the Coaching Prosperity School, which for more than a decade has taught and trained life and business coaches from around the world.

Reinventing Yourself20th Anniversary Edition How to Become the Person You’ve Always Wanted to Be

Steve Chandler, author of 100 Ways to Motivate Others Foreword by Christine Hassler, author of Expectation Hangover

This completely revised and updated edition of Reinventing Yourself, the motivational classic by inspirational author Steve Chandler, features several new chapters, including:

* What to Do about Your Money Fears

* Your Career Played as a Game vs. Your Career as a Grind for Survival

* How Much Ego Do You Need to Succeed?

* The Hidden Downside of Winning Friends and Influencing People

* Do You Need a Life Coach or Should You Just Wing It?

* Does Success Make You Happy or Does Happiness Make You Successful?

You’ll learn numerous techniques for breaking down negative barriers and letting go of the pessimistic thoughts that prevent you from fulfilling, or even allowing yourself to conceive of, your goals and dreams.

Chandler’s new edition also tunes, polishes, and strengthens the many popular and inspiring chapters from previous editions of this book, making them even more useful and relevant in today’s rapidly changing, globalized world.

The old psychological models that focused on past hurts and traumatic memories have given way to exciting new breakthroughs, like Dr. Martin Seligman’s work on post-traumatic strength and Dr. George Pransky’s work on human beings’ innate resilience and well-being. No more fixating on psychic wounds that occurred in childhood. Chandler’s new revision looks at the work of both of those pioneers and makes optimism available to people who never believed they could reinvent their old ways of being.

7 Principles of Transformational LeadershipCreate a Mindset of Passion, Innovation, and Growth

Hugh Blane

In the world of work, the single greatest asset of successful individuals, teams, and organizations is their mindset—what happens in between their ears. It’s not the corporate strategy, the sales compensation plan, or the market segments they’re pursuing. It is what each leader, team member, and employee chooses to focus on, believe, and create for themselves and others.

7 Principles of Transformational Leadership presents the fundamen-tal concepts whose implementation will result in dramatic revenue, per-formance, and relationship growth. Specifically, leaders will learn to:

* Live their professional and personal lives with unbridled purpose and passion.

* Execute strategic priorities more effectively and with accelerated results.

* Retain the brightest and best talent.

* Have employees, key stakeholders, and managers enthusiastically follow them.

* Be exemplars of innovation, growth, and positive mindsets.

* Cascade excellence throughout their organizations.

You may have employees with all the talent in the world, but you’ll never achieve remarkable results until you change your employees’ mindset. 7 Principles of Transformational Leadership will help you convert your human potential into accelerated business results.

Thriving in the Gig EconomyHow to Capitalize and Compete in the New World of Work

Marion McGovern

In the last five years, the world of work has changed dramatically. Thanks to technology companies like Uber, Airbnb, TaskRabbit, and Instacart, the new “gig economy” seems to constantly be in the news. But most of the media focus is on the low end of the skill spectrum; little attention is being paid to the best-in-class professionals who have chosen an indepen-dent path. New digital talent platforms are developing at a rapid clip with a wide variety of business models, many catering to very precise, high-value skill sets.

Thriving in the Gig Economy is an actionable guidebook outlining ways to maneuver in this new world to create a path that optimizes success. You will learn:

* The differences between the gig economy and the sharing and on-demand economies.

The Workplace Engagement SolutionFind a Common Mission, Vision, and Purpose with All of Today’s Employees

David Harder

Organizations around the world spend billions of dollars every year to awaken and engage their employees. Yet global employee engagement remains fixed—at 13%.

The disengagement problem usually begins with the CEO telling human resources to fix it. Unless the CEO or business owner takes charge of engagement, everyone will look over the messenger’s shoulders to pick up cues from the top leader.

Most workers can’t engage because they are overwhelmed trying to keep up with change. This problem speaks to a much deeper need. We need to teach our workers how to change themselves.

In The Workplace Engagement Solution, David Harder will help you:

* Learn how a CEO or business owner can successfully lead culture awakening.

* Gain the life skills that help employees change and reinvent themselves.

* Build a caring, mentor-driven culture that ensures category-leading engagement.

* Routinely create enthusiastic and loyal customers as an outcome of your culture.

After watching his wife and friends struggle through a recession, Douglas A. Boneparth wanted to invest in his peers, regardless of whether they could invest in him. He founded Bone Fide Wealth, LLC, a boutique

wealth management firm in New York City that specializes in helping Millennials achieve their goals. Boneparth is a rising financial expert in the media and serves as an ambassador for the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards. Visit him online at @dougboneparth and at www.BoneFideWealth.com.

Heather J. Boneparth is Douglas’s marketing manager, counsel, and wife. In 2010, she graduated law school with honors and more than $200,000 in student loan debt. After several years in private practice, she left billable hours

behind, rekindled her love of writing, and created this book with Douglas while on maternity leave. They recent-ly moved to the suburbs of Westfield, New Jersey.

The Millennial Money FixWhat You Need to Know about Budgeting, Debt, and Finding Financial Freedom

Douglas A. Boneparth, CFP®, and Heather J. Boneparth, Esq.

Make no mistake—Millennials matter. They are no longer those darn kids, mere children of the rainmakers and game changers. With Baby Boomers entering retirement, they aren’t even kids at all. Their ability to pursue their dreams will drive our economy, and their inability to do so could destroy it. In other words, if Millennials have a problem, then everyone has a problem.

The Millennial Money Fix first examines the complex challenges facing this generation, targeting their lack of financial education in school and at home, the rising cost of education and resultant student loan debt, and the career-crushing labor environment.

With candor and humor, it guides you through a lifetime of important concepts, including:

* Identifying honest and realistic goals.

* Selecting and paying for a college or graduate program.

* Mastering cash flow to jumpstart your life.

* Navigating the job landscape to do what you love.

* Planning for marriage, babies, and all that gushy stuff.

* Redefining retirement as your ability to do what you want.

The Millennial Money Fix is about learning the reasons for your financial problems and the mechanics of your solutions, for yourself and those to come.

The Power of People SkillsHow to Eliminate 90% of Your HR Problems and Dramatically Increase Team and Company Morale and Performance

Trevor Throness

People are the problem. They’re always the problem. If a business person goes home frustrated, if they talk with their significant other about it, if they lay awake at night stewing about it, inevitably the problem is some person at work—a colleague, subordinate, or boss.

Handling people issues is every leader’s major headache. It’s what takes up the majority of their time and—more important—the bulk of their head space. Every leader can and must develop this most important of all management skills.

The Power of People Skills will teach you that there’s one primary difference between a great culture and a poor one: a great culture insists on having star players in every key seat, and a poor culture tolerates under performers. In this powerful book, you will learn how to:

* Make the people decisions that can double your results, relieve your stress, and cause team morale to soar.

* Attract and retain the very best talent.

* Deal with difficult people problems in an objective and kind way.

* Overcome the reluctance we all share to confront under performers.

* Permanently solve the problems causing most of your stress.
