On Inspiring Minds

Di buku inilah Anda akan menemukan cara dan kiat untuk menginspirasi, menyemangati dan menangani orang dan karyawan Anda. Jika Anda pernah membaca buku-buku tentang cara pengelolaan bisnis, buku ini beda dan jarang ditemukan ketika kita belajar di bangku sekolah. Bacalah artikel-artikel yang penuh pembelajaran dari seorang yang telah malang melintang di lapangan langsung yang berhubungan dengan orang atau karyawan. Kita akan dengan mudah memahami misalnya kenapa maskapai A nyaris zero complain tetapi kenapa maskapai B terkenal dengan julukan suka telat. Atau, kenapa dulu PLN sering byar pet, kenapa sekarang ia bisa menguranginya dengan drastis? Salah satu kunci pengendalinya adalah faktor manusia.
