The proven way to respond to high-conflict healthcare situations—without making them worse. BIFF for Healthcare delivers a practical, evidence-based approach to one of the most pressing challenges in modern healthcare: managing emotionally charged, high-conflict communication without escalating risk, burnout, or complaints.Adapted from Bill Eddy’s internationally recognized BIFF Response®&nbsp;Method (Brief, Informative, Friendly, Firm), this book translates a proven conflict-communication framework into real-world healthcare settings. Readers learn how to respond effectively to demanding patients, distressed families, high-conflict colleagues, and disruptive physicians—while maintaining professionalism, boundaries, and patient safety.Designed for time-pressured clinical environments, BIFF techniques can be learned quickly and applied in minutes during daily practice, including emails, documentation, and face-to-face interactions. The approach reduces escalation, strengthens trust, and supports clearer communication under stress—key factors in improving patient experience and protecting staff well-being.Written for a broad professional audience, BIFF for Healthcare is relevant to physicians, nurses, administrators, HR professionals, risk managers, and patient-relations teams. As the fifth volume in the established BIFF Conflict Communication Series, it builds on a model already adopted by organizations worldwide.Ideal for onboarding, continuing education, and professional development programs, this book offers healthcare organizations a practical tool for safer communication, stronger teams, and more resilient care delivery.

Brand Builder Workbook - 2nd Edition

This book summarizes the 'rules of the service game' and presents the distilled lessons from three leaders' decades-long experience in consulting, teaching, and research on service, summarizing the 'rules of the game' they have learned. In particular, the authors emphasize that people (customers, employees, and managers) remain a prominent key to success in service, regardless of the level and extent of technology, robotics, and artificial intelligence (AI) involved.Embracing the social psychology of the various stakeholders and the settings in which they interact is critical for the long-term health of service organizations because this is what can yield sustainable competitive advantage. To be effective, service leaders need to understand the complexities of people so that they can create and support appropriate psycho-social contexts in their organizations.This book draws on the interrelated disciplines of social psychology, organizational behavior, and organizational psychology to distill fundamental principles that help inform the effective management of people and their organizational contexts. This book summarizes the most important 'rules of the game' on how to build effective service organizations for people to innovate, design, and co-create value.Rules of the Service Game provides a sharp and concise summary of how to manage a service organization by three thought leaders in this field. It reveals how people are central to the development of services whether those are delivered via technology, personally, or -- more likely -- a combination of these. This book deals with the organizational and contextual issues that produce the service quality marketing promotes. A central focus of the book is talent management -- how to attract, retain, and manage the talent necessary for creating and implementing the wide range of service delivery systems that will be required in the future.

Rules of the Service Game: What Service Leaders Need to Know

Meaningful Work After the Middle Class

Gentrified Labour

A guide to organizational transformation targeting the country's trillion-dollar stagnancy problem-the "frozen middle" of corporate America-and offering strategies to overcome bureaucratic setbacks that hinder innovation, profit, and fulfillment Corporate America has a trillion-dollar problem: the frozen middle-paralysis in the critical layer of management caught between high-level leadership's vision and frontline employees' execution. This paralysis causes even the most promising initiatives to stall out. It traps passionate managers in inertia and stymies senior leadership. And every year it's costing companies billions. As experts in organizational transformation, Jimmy Leppert and Justin Wasserman have spent their careers figuring out how to thaw the frozen middle. Their consulting firm, Empactful Advisors, has led major organizations-including Chevron, Merck, and the Department of Defense-to generate more than $5 billion in cost savings and revenue growth. The key to their success comes from aligning senior leadership and middle management, using empathy and practical frameworks to illuminate the blocks that both sides face, and showing how they can shift from utter disconnect to collaborative goal setting that helps all parties-as well as the company-hit their targets. In Thaw, Leppert and Wasserman share their field-tested methods for turning strategic goals into tangible outcomes. Along the way, they offer a road map for employees at all levels to learn how to move through the bottlenecks that hold their organizations back and facilitate meaningful change. Middle managers will be empowered to unlock stalled careers, and senior leaders will learn how to galvanize their workforce and achieve bold, accelerated change. In the age of AI, a playbook for improving-and celebrating-human contribution is more essential than ever. Sharp, confident, and timely, Thaw is poised to be the definitive book on ending organizational paralysis and unlocking true potential.

What employers must know about FMLA leave for both on-site and remote workers The federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) helps workers balance the demands of work, family, and personal care. But for employers, knowing how to apply this law fairly and legally can be difficult--especially when it comes to determining workers' eligibility for different types of leave, tracking intermittent leave, and completing the proper paperwork. What's more, related and sometimes overlapping workers' compensation statutes and state leave laws create complexity, such that any misstep can result in frustration for both managers and employees. This book provides answers--in plain English--to every employer's questions about the FMLA. It offers detailed information, sample forms, checklists, and other tools to help company managers and human resources personnel figure out: <ul> <li>who is eligible for leave</li> <li>what types of leave are covered</li> <li>how much leave individual employees may take, and</li> <li>how to comply with notice and other paperwork requirements.</li> </ul> This indispensable guide, from experienced employment law attorneys, has already helped thousands of companies learn how to respect employees' rights while simultaneously protecting their business interests. The 8th edition includes changes to state family and medical leave laws and discussion of how they intersect with the FMLA.

The Essential Guide to Family & Medical Leave

The story of a disillusioned generation that set out to reclaim its dignity and take on corporate America. In recent years, young college grads have faced an alarming reality: crushing debt, unemployment, and jobs below their qualifications. They are frustrated that the time and money they invested in a degree have failed to bring about the opportunities they were promised. The anger of this college-educated working class began to boil over during the Covid pandemic, when workers at companies like Apple and Starbucks shocked corporate America by voting to unionize. Not long after, the veteran New York Times reporter Noam Scheiber met Chaya Barrett, an astute college grad and eight-year Apple employee who had stepped up and helped organize her coworkers at an Apple store near Baltimore. While following Barrett and her cohort as their seemingly spontaneous rebellions spread far and wide-from college-educated workers at Apple stores and Starbucks cafés, through video-game studios, and even to Hollywood writers' rooms-Scheiber realized he was witnessing something deep and lasting. Mutiny is the revelatory account of a generation made confident by their historic educational achievements, only to become disillusioned when their degrees yielded far less than they were taught to expect. With striking empathy, Scheiber paints a vivid portrait of this new working class while telling the dramatic story of its revolt against the status quo. He describes how recent developments like the proliferation of artificial intelligence and the war in Gaza have further fueled its discontent, and he explains why the college-educated working class will continue to demand change in the workplace, in cities like New York, and in national politics for years to come.

Renowned economists Abhijit Banerjee, Esther Duflo (corecipients of the 2019 Nobel Prize), and Michael Greenstone propose a radical new approach to combatting the most serious global crisis of our time: climate change. The lives of the world's poorest are already harder, hotter, and shorter thanks to emissions that disproportionately come from the world's richest. But just as the rich world's emissions are finally falling, poorer countries' are set to increase drastically.We seem to be caught in an impossible bind--but it's not too late. Substantial progress is possible if the wealthiest countries compensate the poorer countries for the harms that their emissions cause and, in exchange, poorer countries commit to climate action. Based on meticulous original research and years of fieldwork around the world, this paradigm-shifting and inspiring book reassures us that we can successfully confront the challenge. We can protect the poor while protecting our future. It's just economics.

Lead with humanity and end the era of management mediocrity. If you've ever vowed to be a better boss than the ones you've had, this book is for you. James (J.R.) Lowry and Daniela De Luca provide an essential roadmap for first-time managers and emerging leaders who refuse to repeat decades of management mediocrity. Drawing on Lowry's experience as a former US Air Force officer, McKinsey partner, and C-suite executive and De Luca's research on career advancement, this comprehensive guide shows how ditching outdated command-and-control habits-and leading with empathy instead-unlocks stronger performance, trust, and engagement in today's teams. Nearly 70 percent of American workers are disengaged, according to Gallup-a clear sign that traditional management approaches are no longer working. In response, Lowry and De Luca offer a practical framework that balances the art and science of management. They reveal the most common misconceptions and mistakes managers make, explain how the manager's role is evolving, and address the mental and emotional preparation required to lead well (even on hard days). Through concrete, actionable practices, Be the Boss You Wish You'd Had shows you how to manage with humanity, both in team practices like delegation and coaching, and in challenges such as office politics and burnout. The result is higher team engagement, stronger productivity, and a workplace culture where people can genuinely thrive. Becoming the leader you always wanted to work for is within your reach. With a relatable blend of research, stories, and advice, Be the Boss You Wish You'd Had is a clarion call to move beyond the "management meh" that plagues many organizations worldwide. J.R. Lowry and Daniela De Luca invite leaders to reclaim the human element of their work and, in doing so, change their own lives and the lives of those they lead.
