Interpersonal Skills in Organizations
This book covers the important topics in organizational behavior, and the writing style is concise and readable.
What distinguishes this text from many other OB offerings is the excellent exercises at the end of each chapter.
I've used this book in leadership training sessions with working managers, and the class participants
have been very happy with it, as have I.
A Princess and Her Garden
A good book for all Princesses in our life!
Sometimes with
The bones of the black sticks
left when the fire has gone out
Someone has written
something new in the ashes of your life.
You are not leaving,
you are arriving
From “The Journey” by David Whyte
A Princess and Her Garden is wriiten by Patricia with the intention to awaken us about "balance" in our life.
The book is easy to read and its about a story of a woman who learns how to maintain the delicate balance between care of herself and caring for others.
Although it looks like a children's book, and is beautifully illustrated, it is a book in which adult readers can discover the delights and the borders of their own personal "gardens" and acquire a new vocabulary of growth and responsibility to replace the outworn pathological language of dependency and blame.
