Ken Blanchard's Leading at a Higher Level techniques are inspiring thousands of leaders to build high-performing organizations that make life better for everyone. Now, in Helping People Win at Work, Blanchard and WD-40 Company leader Garry Ridge reveal how WD-40 has used Blanchard's techniques of Partnering for Performance with every employee--achieving levels of engagement and commitment that have fortified the bottom line. Ridge introduces WD-40 Company's year-round performance review system, explaining its goals, features, and the cultural changes it requires. Next, he shares his leadership point of view: what he expects of people, what they can expect of him, and where his beliefs about leadership and motivation come from. Finally, Blanchard explains why WD-40 Company's Partnering for Performance system works so well--and how to leverage its high-value techniques in your organization. In this book, you'll learn how to: - Stop building failure into your mentoring of employees - Set goals using the SMART approach: specific, motivational, attainable, relevant and trackable - Help people move through all four stages of mastery - Create a culture that shares knowledge and encourages nonstop learning "I'm thrilled that the first book in our Leading at a Higher Level series is with Garry Ridge, president of WD-40 Company. For years I've been concerned about how people's performance is evaluated. People are often forced into a normal distribution curve, or even worse, rank ordered. Not only does this not build trust, it also does not hold managers responsible for coaching people and helping them win. The manager's responsibility is focused on sorting people out. When I was a college professor, I always gave my students the final exam at the beginning of the course and spent the rest of the semester helping them answer the questions so that they could get an A. Life is all about getting As, not some stupid normal distribution curve. Garry Ridge got this, and wow What a difference it has made in WD-40
Company's performance." --Ken Blanchard "When I first heard Ken talk about giving his final exam at the beginning of the course and then teaching students the answers so they could get an A, it blew me away. Why don't we do that in business? So that's exactly what I did at WD-40 Company when we set up our 'Don't Mark My Paper, Help Me Get an A' performance management system. Has it made a difference? You'd better believe it. Ever since we began the system, our company's annual sales have more than tripled, from $100 million to more than $339 million. And we've accomplished this feat while making the company a great place to work." --Garry Ridge

They should call it The Unicorn Bra
Size: 42F, Color: White
What kind of sorcery is this?! I am 58 and have had huge boobs my entire life. I've spent thousands of dollars on bras over the years and have never been 100% happy with one of them. Until now. My daughter recently lost a ton of weight and was looking for "in between" bras until she hits her goal. She didn't want to spend a lot each time she had to replace one so she researched and found Delmira. She immediately called to tell me she found a Unicorn and of course, I had to try it. I ordered 4 more in different colors and styles and let me tell you...all of them are amazing. The support, comfort, style...simply amazing!!

My everyday, everywhere laptop bag
Color: Brown Pu 239
This is hands-down my favorite laptop bag. It’s exactly as pictured. I use it daily and it has traveled all over the world with me. After a full year of hard, everyday use, it’s still holding up beautifully with no signs of wear. It holds a lot without feeling bulky. I’m able to carry my laptop along with content creation tools, marketing materials, chargers, and extras with ease. The two external pockets are incredibly helpful for quick-access items, and the two side drink pockets get used constantly—I often stash an umbrella or spare battery packs in them. One feature I really appreciate when traveling is the snap closure at the top. It’s a small detail, but it adds peace of mind when I’m moving through airports or traveling abroad and want an extra layer of security. It’s also surprisingly versatile style-wise. I carry it with casual outfits and professional attire, and it works with both. Trendy, practical, and thoughtfully designed. If you’re on the fence, get the bag. It’s well worth the cost in all categories. It’s reliable, well made, and clearly designed for real daily use.

Stylish and Functional, But with a Minor Quirk
Color: Brown Pu 239
I really love this PU leather backpack purse! It’s a perfect mix of style and practicality, but there’s one small design issue that keeps it from being perfect. **Pros:** - **Stylish Design:** The leather finish looks chic and goes well with any outfit. It’s versatile enough for casual outings or work. - **Spacious and Organized:** The compartments are thoughtfully designed, with plenty of space for all my essentials without feeling bulky. - **Comfortable to Wear:** The adjustable straps make it easy to carry as a backpack, and the weight distribution is great. - **Durable Material:** The PU leather feels high-quality and holds up well to daily use. **Cons:** - **Top Handles Issue:** The top handles stand straight up when I wear it as a backpack, which can look a little awkward and get in the way. It’s not a dealbreaker, but I wish they could lay flat. Overall, this backpack purse is a fantastic buy, especially for the price. If the top handle design doesn’t bother you, it’s an excellent addition to your wardrobe. Stylish, functional, and durable!
