From The Classroom To The Boardroom, Ten Kids Tips for Managers by Celia Couture

From the Classroom to the Boardroom (November 2004, $15.95) provides fun, insightful solutions to today’s management challenges. Considered the busy manager’s handbook, From the Classroom to the Boardroom reminds readers of lessons learned on the playground and applies these lessons to today’s corporate setting in a practical, effective way. Each Kid Tip™ is coupled with easy-to-follow exercises that bring the lessons to life and allow managers to easily change their leadership approach so they can develop strong, effective teams.

Couture, a dynamic speaker and management consultant, brings over 30 years of practical business experience to her work. Kid Tips™ began as a seminar offered throughout the country. Based on the enthusiastic response, Couture was encouraged to publish the book. “This book is about developing leaders, not managers,” says Couture. “Today’s business world is a high-pressure environment that rewards performance and productivity. Sometimes in the quest to succeed, we forget the basics of how to lead. This book brings those basics back in an easily understandable set of powerful tips.”

The book is already winning fans in the business community. “As a training and performance improvement professional for over 25 years, I've never participated in a seminar as engaging, stimulating, and useful as Celia Couture's Kid Tips Workshop! With her book, From the Classroom to the Boardroom, I've got a super tool to make all those great Kid Tips work in the real world. It's a fun, engaging, and oh-so-useful guide! A "must read" for any manager who wants to really connect with his or her staff,” Kelley O’Leary, Training Manager, UniFirst Corporation.

Whether you are new to management or a seasoned executive, Kid Tips™ combines practical approaches with humor that will make it one of the most read books on your shelf.
