New Book Offers Career-Jolting Lessons for First-time Leaders and Seasoned Veterans Alike

    CRYSTAL LAKE, IL, October 11, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A new resource on leadership and professional development is available with the release of Leadership Caffeine-Ideas to Energize Your Professional Development by Art Petty. Petty is a noted author and Alltop listed blogger on Leadership and Management issues. Available on Amazon.com in paperback and Kindle versions, the new book offers 83 idea-prompting, action-inspiring essays to stimulate readers who want to develop and grow as professionals.

Petty modeled the book on the kind of content that readers noted were often the most impactful from his popular Management Excellence blog. "The book can serve as a reader's own portable professional development coach," Petty says. "I set out to assemble a collection of brief, idea-packed essays that someone could pick up, consume and leave in a few minutes refreshed, recharged and filled with some thoughts on tackling their next big challenge as a leader or high performance professional."

Blog followers and workshop participants were the inspiration for publishing the collection according to Petty. "I heard from readers and customers that they wished there was a way for them to catalog the content in the blog postings so they could refer to it when a certain situation presented itself in their everyday lives," Petty says. "This collection was organized for at-a-glance referencing, quick consumption, highlighting, dog-earring pages and every essay is intended to deliver or prompt new ideas to put to work immediately."

The new book is ideal for professionals interested in improving their individual performance, management and leadership discussion groups, corporate managers and department heads for their teams, Professional Coaches for use with clients as a supplemental resource, and even Human Resources professionals tasked with providing continuing education on leadership and management issues.
