The Perfect Nanny. How to choose one and how to succeed in being one

В России существует серьезная проблема - нет такого высшего учебного заведения, где обучали бы столь важному делу, как воспитание нового поколения. В педагогических институтах, техникумах и колледжах готовят специалистов для работы с детскими коллективами. Но няня - это нечто совсем другое. Не многие задумываются об этом, но почти каждый сталкивается с этим по ходу жизни. Книга, которую вы держите в руках написана отечественным автором и основана на отечественных материалах. Она начинается с элементарных правил взаимоотношений няни и хозяев, которые выведены автором на опыте общения почти с 200 нянь. "Идеальная няня" написана для тех, кто выбирает профессию няни не "по жестокой воле обстоятельств", а по призванию, для кого это не способ переждать худые времена или ступенька "карьерной" лестницы, - те не раз поблагодарят автора за учебник профессии и жизни.

The bestselling co-author of the legendary The One Minute Manager® and a former Twitter executive join forces to create the ultimate guide to creating powerful mentoring relationships. The past decade has seen the dramatic rise of a word now well known in corporate hallways: mentoring. But a new awareness about mentoring hasn’t necessarily meant an increased understanding of how to implement the practice. While most people agree that having a mentor is a good thing, they don’t know how to find one or use one. And despite widespread approval for the idea of being a mentor, most people don’t think they have the time or skills to do so. Positive mentoring relationships can change the way we lead and help us succeed. In One Minute Mentoring, legendary management guru Ken Blanchard and Claire Diaz-Ortiz, a former Twitter executive and early employee, combine their knowledge to provide a systematic approach to intergenerational mentoring, giving readers great insight into the power and influence of mentoring and encouraging them to pursue their own mentoring relationships. Using his classic parable format, Blanchard explains why developing effective communication and relationships across generations can be a tremendous opportunity for companies and individuals alike. One Minute Mentoring is the go-to source for learning why mentoring is the secret ingredient to professional and personal success.
