The L-Shaped Room by Lynne Reid Banks

Recently the Conference Board reported U.S. productivity lags Europe for the first time in over a decade. According to CEO and author David Russell, the best way to increase productivity is to improve the leadership skills of America's entrepreneurs, managers and executives. Russell's book, Success With People - A Complete System For Effectively Managing People in Any Organization, provides a strategic proven system that is easy to understand and quick to apply. Russell, the CEO of Success With People, Inc., knows first-hand the importance of managing a company's greatest asset: its people. Russell teaches leaders how to double employee engagement, motivate better performance, increase retention, and more-all factors that contribute to business productivity. In the book, Russell outlines twelve steps for an effective leadership system, which fall into three broader categories: Establish Your Foundation, Balance Your Workload, and Manage Your Team's Performance. Productivity doesn't happen by accident, says Russell. America's business leaders need a clear yet comprehensive, proven system for hiring, managing, developing and retaining people if they hope to compete in the global economy.

This was the first grown-up book I read apart from the dirty bits in The Carpet Baggers and every 14-year-old should be made to read it. It tackles the lot; loneliness, race, sex and growing up. I never read books twice but I feel like tracking this one down again. -- Jenny Eclair * Daily Express *
Unflinching in its boarding-house detail, and strikingly modern in its fury at the "social conditioning" that made its heroine an outcast; it shocked and sold. * The Independent *
