Description

DOER'S DILEMMA: Why Achievers Suffer And What To Do About It, is the first in the doer series by award winning author Tom E Jones. Doers are important in that they are the lynchpins of any successful enterprise, the vital few who do things the right way for the right reasons. They provide the initiative for new ideas and the energy that drives productivity. These behaviors are highly prized by a doer-friendly employer. Such is not the case, however, in organizations where taking the initiative violates cultural norms. Stories of doers, who suffered, as a result of accomplishing more than expected of them, are commonplace. If your achievements are unappreciated, unrecognized or undervalued, this book will help you understand why that happens and show you how to avoid it in the future. This book also champions the advantages of becoming a doer-friendly organization by introducing new ways of activating the full potential of those who get things done. Recognizing, rewarding, and retaining doers as peer coaches, problem solvers, and internal planners, coupled with the other performance enhancing roles outlined in this book, will raise the overall productivity of any organization that is savvy enough to do so.

(John Nesheim) Tom Jones has created a stimulating book that can help startup CEO's get the best out of all the people, especially DOERS. His extensive real world experience has been applied in a delightful read and considerably helpful book.

(Kathryn Tinsley) Doer's Dilemma helped me to understand why I do the things I do and why the people I work with react the way they do. It also helped me realize what kind of organization I want to work for.

(Ken Pascal) The workplace is teeming with subtle challenges and opportunities. Dr. Jones shines the light on interpersonal dynamics often neglected at great risk to success.

(Rachel Sandberg) Finally a management book that “gets it”! Filled with useful tools, models, and relatable examples that encourage doers. Should be in every professional's handbook.

(Michael Delaney) Quick, relevant, loaded with action plans, tips, recommendations, and stories. Much of what you need to overcome the predicament those of us trying to do something struggle to overcome.

(Dana Wilkie) Another gem from Tom Jones. Readers will get invaluable and challenging advice on how it can be for leaders and organizations that seek to maximize success in service to their mission and clients.
