While there are a lot of books on leadership, the title stood out to me: be the best part of their day. That right there is a wonderful goal to keep in mind as leaders and supervisors.

Synopsis:

As a leader in healthcare, the content resonated with me. There is an emphasis on supercharging your communications and engaging with the people in your organization using appreciative inquiry. The examples are mostly hospital focused but can be applied in any industry. Some of the authors advice and leadership lessons were basic and have been extensively covered in previous publications. I found these sections tedious. In summary, if you find yourself stuck in your office, fixated on metrics and meetings, the message here is to start connecting with people for improved results in every aspect of your business.

Rating: 3/5 stars

Excellent tips on managing effectively, with real-life examples from the author’s own experiences as a hospital CEO.

Thanks to #NetGalley and the publisher for access to this book in exchange for an honest review.

Great insight and practical ‘tips on how small, but meaningful ways to interact with people. The audio book was great and the book is structured in a way that is easy to understand, and apply immediately.

I found this book to be very informative. Although I didn't gain any new insights from it, as everything in it was already familiar to me, I believe that it is an excellent reminder of how to treat employees, coworkers, customers, and so on. The author, who is also the CEO of a hospital, shares his personal experiences and approach to management, which can be applied to any industry and company size. I appreciate the author's approach, which offers multiple ways to connect with people without being too revolutionary. The author emphatically stresses the importance of treating everyone with the utmost respect. I firmly believe that the underlying message of 'what goes around comes around' is a fantastic motto to live by.

I truly enjoyed the book and would recommend it to anyone, regardless of their level of employment or industry. The book is a quick read and effectively drives home its main points. I am grateful to NetGalley for providing me with a free and advanced copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.

3 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️

Beneficial for those who are entrepreneurs or just new to networking in general. Books like this would’ve been very helpful for me in my beginning stages of entrepreneurial life. And still now with points that I have to consciously think about.

Wow, this book is an absolute gem! It truly resonated with me as it skillfully guided me
through navigating the intricacies of workplace interactions, whether with coworkers or
customers. The author, a seasoned CEO at a hospital, generously shared a wealth of personal
experiences and invaluable tips on effective management. His emphasis on treating everyone
with respect and fostering a positive communication style left a lasting impression. Having
enjoyed the audiobook, you can clearly hear his passion for this topic.

Wholeheartedly embracing the notion that kindness and respect create a positive ripple effect,
I found this book to be more than just a guide—it's a beacon illuminating the transformative
power of positivity in the professional realm. Consistently, I strive to treat others with the
same kindness I wish to receive.

I enthusiastically recommend this book to anyone seeking insights on creating a positive work
environment. It's not just an easy read; it's a swift journey to the heart of impactful workplace
dynamics.

A huge thanks to NetGalley for generously providing me with an advanced copy of the
audiobook in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the audio ARC of Be the Best Part of Their Day.

This book should be required reading for anyone who runs a company, manages others, or has contact with the public in any form! These concepts are a class in Positive Human Interaction 101.

The author is the CEO of a hospital and writes from that perspective, but the basic principles he outlines can be applied to any industry. My biggest takeaways from this book were: view everyone in the company as important and treat them as such, be authentic, and be transparent. All of these seem fairly basic and straightforward, but are often overlooked or disregarded, especially by managerial or C-suite level employees. The author lays out why these concepts are an important foundation of good communication (he brands it as "super charged communication"), how they contribute to a positive work environment, proof that they work, and the science behind why they work.

Remember the old saying "it's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice"? This book is an in-depth look at the truth to that statement and how it can become a culture at your company.

As I said before, I would recommend this book in paper or electronic form. I would recommend the audiobook only if you can ignore the fact that the narrator sounds like he has a cold.

I'm not sure if I feel like this is really new material, but it's all solid, the anecdotes are clear, and the presentation is good. It's a good perspective, though, to decide to keep track of your mission, evaluate what you're doing, and be the best part of their day.
The one new thing for me was at the end, using AI to improve communications. There are some ways you can make everyone's life easier by using AI for things you don't want to waste people on, and you should never use AI when you need a human connection, which is going to happen a lot.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me listen to this

This is a great collection of stories and tips for anyone in a leadership role, or aspiring to leadership. The author provides great tips and tools for increasing connection with others, building trust, leveraging talent and engaging employees in a genuine manner with connection to mission and purpose.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to listen to this audiobook.
