TRUE PROFESSIONALISM : The Courage to Care About Your People, Your Clients, and Your Career 真正的专业主义 azw3 极速 下载 snb txt pdf pdb 夸克云

　　Maister sets out to help professionals align their real-world

actions with their true (espoused) values. His frame of reference

throughout the book is the professional firm--law firms and others

in the service sector. He tells us that successful firms are

clearly differentiated by a strict adherence to values and

professionalism and that doing the right thing is good business.

Professionalism is not a set of competencies but predominantly an

attitude; a real professional is a technician who cares. To

emphasize the importance of true values in our chaotic marketplace,

we learn that the noble path does win, but only if we are prepared

to make the investment to act professionally over a long period of

time. This is a challenge in today's short-term view of most

aspects of business activity. The book addresses the individual

professional's values, the firm's responsibilities in the realm of

values, and how a firm should deal with its client base in terms of

quality and excellence. In addition, the author offers a

thought-provoking suggestion for guaranteeing satisfaction.

在线阅读本书

Professional firms are forever trying to get their people to act like professionals -- to do the right things. Though their various incentives may create employee compliance, these don't often encourage excellence. David Maister, the world's premier consultant to professional service firms, vigorously challenges professionals to examine this essential, yet under-addressed question: What is true professionalism? His answer is clear: It is believing passionately in what you do, never compromising your standards and values, and caring about your clients, your people and your own career. In clear and compelling terms, Maister shows that this approach is not only ethical but also conducive to commercial success.
