Think there's no 'I' in 'team'? There is. Believe that together everyone achieves more? They don't. Asked to give it 110 per cent? You can't. Think employees are your greatest asset? They ain't. Got an open-door policy? For goodness sake - shut it!

Whether you're a perpetrator or a casualty of cringe-worthy corporate cliches (or both), Corporate Punishment will challenge the way you think about the world of business and the mind-numbing management mottos that have underpinned it for decades. From teams and leadership to workplace culture and customer service, James Adonis smashes in this book some of the most deeply entrenched business philosophies.

In a groundbreaking study of 2,400 people, this book investigates what causes employees to be angry, frustrated, and upset at work, and in this refreshingly real and brutally honest book, James hands you on a platter the Top 50 areas of staff disengagement.

Written unlike any other management book you've ever read, Employee Enragement will show you how to avoid doing what annoying and incompetent managers do and how to increase your popularity and likeability. It's a warts-n-all account of what you do that makes your employees roll their eyes, curse your existence, and scream on the inside. And sometimes on the outside!

Love Your Team, written by James Adonis, provides you with hundreds of ways to engage your employees and reduce staff turnover. The useful ideas in this easy-to-read book can be implemented instantly and will provide you with immediate and long-lasting results. And the best part: all of these ideas require very little in terms of time and money.

If you put in place just one of these initiatives each day, employee engagement levels will skyrocket, morale will be boosted, absenteeism will be slashed, and employee turnover will be reduced by up to 50% within 90 days! These proven methods have worked for James and thousands of other managers. It's the kind of book that every manager should have on their desk.

People don't deal with others they don't trust. If you want your employees to be engaged, they need to trust you, their manager, and the products and services you offer to your customers. If you want your relationships to stay strong, you need to be able to trust each other.

The Truth about Trust in Business builds on a clever model with simplicity and clarity, and connects us to the reality of trust and its critical role in business. Real-life examples and conversational language make this book an easy and enjoyable read. Authored by Vanessa Hall, The Truth about Trust in Business includes a chapter on "trust in people management" which was written by James Adonis.
