Employees don¿t work for companies; they work for people. The more irresistible you are as a leader, the more pull you have for employees to want to stay and for your customers to remain loyal. In The Magnetic Leader, Roberta Matuson asks us to consider that the quality of a company¿s leadership is the most important factor in attracting and retaining high-quality employees. Matuson has spent 20 years helping organizations achieve both market leadership and dynamic growth by maximizing the talent they already have, in addition to creating a magnetic environment that attracts high-caliber new hires.Many are searching for a magical formula, but the fact is that the answer lies inside businesses¿ organizations. Instead of offering crazy perks, companies need to focus on the one perk they can¿t get anywhere else, which is the opportunity to work with a truly magnetic leader.The Magnetic Leader aids readers in transforming their leadership style from push to pull, repel to attract, dismal to good, and then good to great. They¿ll become magnetic leaders who attract the cream of the crop and ultimately create legions of loyal, talented superstars eager to beat the competition.

This enriching volume looks at psychology, social change, and community empowerment. Women of color from both inside and outside the psychological community and discipline explore a history of personal tragedy largely due to racism and poverty. The failure of traditional psychiatry and psychology to understand the struggles and problems in the lives of women of color is contrasted with the newer therapies that advocate the notion that one's historywho one ishas relevance to the study of psychology.

The contributors of this book examine how their research applies to the management or mismanagement of knowledge in organizations. It is divided into three sections: knowledge systems; emotional-motivational systems; and communication and behavioural systems.
