Service Excellence Book Club - "Nine Minutes on Monday: The Quick and Easy Way to Go From Manager to Leader"

You are invited to join the fourth Rollins College Service Excellence Book Club meeting! The Service Excellence Book Club is an inclusion leadership and service excellence learning program involving staff, faculty and students who come together to discuss, respond, react, and apply lessons learned from a current leadership text. Participants are encouraged to bring their lunch to the sessions.

All members of the campus community are invited to read "Nine Minutes on Monday: The Quick and Easy Way to Go From Manager to Leader" by James Robbins and participate in a conversation about how this applies to our work at the College.

We will host two (2) meetings in August to meet and discuss the book (both meetings will be the same and you do not need to attend both meetings). The meetings will be facilitated by Susan Bach, Executive Director Center for Leadership Development at the Crummer Graduate School of Business, and David Zajchowski, Human Resources Manager.

Space is limited and interested people will be required to sign-up below and acknowledge that they will obtain a copy of the book, read it and attend the book club meeting. Additional offerings of this workshop may be scheduled if needed in accordance with demand. We look forward to seeing you there!

The book is available for purchase in multiple locations. Below is a partial list of where you can find this book:

- Amazon ($6.83 - $16.33)
- Barnes & Noble ($13.99 - $16.33)

ABOUT THE BOOK & AUTHOR

In Nine Minutes on Monday, leadership guru James Robbins argues that employee engagement comes down to one thing: a constant dedication to meeting the universal needs that drive performance excellence. In today's chaotic, high-stakes business environment, it is easy to get distracted from leadership responsibilities by focusing on tasks at hand instead of on strategy. But when you neglect to keep your leadership priorities in front of you, everyone suffers--your staff, your organization and, in the end, you.

Whether you lead a small team or an entire organization, you’ll discover the nine keys to raising productivity, boosting morale, and increasing employee engagement. Nine Minutes on Monday combines proven engagement drivers and principles of human motivation into a simple system of execution that will show immediate results. Inside you'll find:

• The "9 Minute" template for maintaining focus on your leadership priorities--no matter how busy you are
• Three key questions that will help you connect purpose to paycheck for your staff
• A four-step formula for addressing subpar performance and driving complacency from the workplace
• A simple coaching model for fast-track staff development
• Four reward/recognition tools that will leave your employees feeling valued and motivated
• The one simple activity that will forge deep bonds of trust between you and your employees
• Three key ingredients that will immediately increase the motivation level of any employee

Being a great leader is never easy, but Robbins breaks it all down into essential components to reveal its fundamental simplicity. Nine Minutes on Monday is your road map to igniting purpose, passion, and engagement among your team members. Master and apply the tools and techniques inside, and your employees will be motivated, inspired, and equipped to bring their best to work each and every day.
