{"product_id":"son-of-a-postman-nancy-p-macagno-9781491208175","title":"Son Of A Postman: Delivering Straight Talk on Managing Fluffers, Bullies and the Rest of the Team","description":"Down-to-earth advice, peppered with illustrative, often humorous anecdotes from all walks of life, makes this a remarkably practical guide to leading people. It tells how a working class kid - the son of an inner city Postman - developed a unique management style that resulted in a surprising, successful, 30-year career at a prominent firm on Wall Street. Using a plain talking farming metaphor, and drawing on the vivid character of Grandma Ruth, it gives guidance on how to build a team, deliver clear feedback, deal with unmanageables and nurture everyone to find a suitable place. It describes \"Bullies\" and \"Fluffers\" and the rest of the six \"Types\" of people you are likely to encounter in the workplace - or pretty much anywhere else - along with incisive insights on how to manage them. This book is for anyone who wants, or needs, to lead - as a parent, teacher, coach or manager - and it applies as effectively to those responsible for factory workers, retail clerks, mid-wives, soldiers, children and students, as it does to those in the financial world. It is especially for everyone who delights in seeing others succeed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nancy P. Macagno, Kevin R.
