false 2935719 2 <p> Unfortunately, we've all seen it happen. When faced with a problem, rather than working cooperatively to come up with a solution, your manager or colleagues come swooping in, squawking loudly, dump orders riddled with formulaic advice, and then take off, leaving you and everyone else to clean up the mess. Or&#8212;let's be honest: there may have been a time (or three) when you have been guilty of doing that very thing yourself. </p> <p> While this happens in every workplace worldwide more frequently than ever, it doesn't have to. Through the story of Charlie, a seagull who doesn't understand how his management actions are holding back his flock, Travis Bradberry, Ph.D., reveals the three virtues of great leadership that he has used to help thousands of people and organizations deal with seagull managers in the workplace and, just as important, to avoid being one themselves. </p> <p> Charlie the seagull is a well-intentioned manager who, when faced with new challenges after previously leading his flock to success, fails to understand how his management style is holding back, rather than helping, his team. Through our bird's-eye view of Charlie, overconfident Scott, quiet Maya, practical Yufan, and skinny, shy Alfred, we see them and the rest of the flock struggle to solve their problems while absorbing the three virtues of great leadership and teamwork along the way. This entertaining and illuminating fable will help make us all more productive, less prone to depositing messes on the heads of those around us, and more able to work effectively with those who continue to squawk at us every day. </p> 2965107 1 9 2008 Squawk!: How to Stop Making Noise and Start Getting Results total:31|5:17|4:7|3:5|2:1|1:1| 31 131 45 5 5 0 false false Fri Sep 12 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Jan 17 20:52:02 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 17 20:53:47 -0800 2009
