HIGHLIGHT #2: The Art of Supervising and Motivating People, by Edward J. Felten
Ed, former President and Chairman of the Board of First Supply LLC in Madison, WI, brings to life his 2006 book in an optional, all-day seminar.Good managers today are looking beyond simply hiring good people and counting on them to carry the torch. Many are seeking new ways to motivate positively and establish a loyal and dedicated long-term team.
