Book excerpt: The success of any organization, is a direct link to the employees' performance. In the hospitality industry, several managers work long hours; five to six days a week, with little or no quality of life. So the success of these supervisors is not only important, but necessary. The fact is their success is directly linked to their employees' performance. And the employees will only provide high-quality service when they feel the managers are on their side and have provided the tools, training, and motivation necessary for them to be productive employees. Due to the intense labor of this industry and the continued changing of the workforce, supervisors must learn how to effectively communicate, train, develop, delegate, and motivate this diverse workforce. They must also learn how to handle marginal employees, solve problems, and make good and effective decisions. Essential Leadership Skills for Hospitality Supervisor An Experiential Approach, will help you in the acquisition of the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to succeed in this endeavor. This book will not only discuss several theories and concepts, but will also provide you with several practical applications you will need to be successful. This book is easy to read and understand. It teaches you how to select the best talents in your team, train, develop, and motivate these employees; how to empower and delegate some of your responsibilities; how to provide the tools needed to accomplish the tasks; and finally how to move from a manager who does things right, to ultimate become a leader who does the right things right! I hope you find this book motivating and helpful. I wish you continued success in your career and this industry!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1994, Anchee Min made her literary debut with a memoir of growing up in China during the violent trauma of the Cultural Revolution. Red Azalea became an international bestseller and propelled her career as a successful, critically acclaimed author. Twenty years later, Min returns to the story of her own life to give us the next chapter, an immigrant story that takes her from the shocking deprivations of her homeland to the sudden bounty of the promised land of America, without language, money, or a clear path. It is a hard and lonely road. She teaches herself English by watching Sesame Street, keeps herself afloat working five jobs at once, lives in unheated rooms, suffers rape, collapses from exhaustion, marries poorly and divorces.But she also gives birth to her daughter, Lauryann, who will inspire her and finally root her in her new country. Min's eventual successes-her writing career, a daughter at Stanford, a second husband she loves-are remarkable, but it is her struggle throughout toward genuine selfhood that elevates this dramatic, classic immigrant story to something powerfully universal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available again in a single volume, New Babylon, New Nineveh explores the past struggles of everyday people on the Witwatersrand, South Africa, 1886-1914. This was a period of extraordinary social, political and economic change. Charles van Onselen examines a host of practices, processes and problems which, in many ways, make for startling comparisons with modern-day South Africa. Van Onselen investigates the pervasive, but highly problematic use of alcohol and prostitution, which were used to control both black and white mine workers, by the state and the mine owners. This exploitation of the lifestyle of the single miners later gave way to the official encouragement of working-class family life. This gave rise to the advent of domestic servants and the introduction of a systematic programme of suburbanisation and cheap public transportation. We see how not even these developments were able to protect the poorest and weakest South Africans of the time. Van Onselen explains how Afrikaner unemployment and an affinity for trade unionism were paralleled by further marginalisation, black unemployment and the resultant formation of prison gangs, which flourish even to the present day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating book is the first volume in a projected cultural history of the United States, from the earliest English settlements to our own time. It is a history of American folkways as they have changed through time, and it argues a thesis about the importance for the United States of having been British in its cultural origins. While most people in the United States today have no British ancestors, they have assimilated regional cultures which were created by British colonists, even while preserving ethnic identities at the same time. In this sense, nearly all Americans are "Albion's Seed," no matter what their ethnicity may be. The concluding section of this remarkable book explores the ways that regional cultures have continued to dominate national politics from 1789 to 1988, and still help to shape attitudes toward education, government, gender, and violence, on which differences between American regions are greater than between European nations.
