What a perfect time for this book from a man who teaches motivational techniques. Now that we are out of the pandemic mode people are getting out and with starting to get back on the career path. One of the most important skills to learn is being able to connect with potential employers, workmates, and customers.
Rich Moran offers clear advice on how to tackle one of the biggest problems–attitude.
In Never Say Whatever, Moran uses his observations of organizational life to make a compelling case that small decisions have huge, sometimes unanticipated effects—which means that people should take what they perceive as small decisions seriously. And never say ‘whatever,’ as though those small decisions are unimportant.”
Dr. Rich Moran is a veteran author, radio host, and former college president, who likens the “W-Word” as a bad habit.
Decisions-even little ones–are important. Shrugging your shoulders and say, “Whatever!” shows a lack of thought. It is perceived as a weakness of ideas.
The numerous daily decisions we make, both at work and in life, are small chances to make big impact. Understanding this―and banishing that “meh” attitude―is key to success.
Written with unflinching honesty, humor, and interviews with corporate decision makers, Never Say Whatever offers a blueprint to help everyone understand why and how the choices we make, even the minor ones, are in fact pivotal to professional development and career trajectory.
The perfect gift for high school and college graduates.
For seasoned professionals it is an eye opener that can boost productivity, increase confidence, and provides a game plan for future success.
