In The Hands-Off Manager, Steve Chandler and Duane Black offer a new vision for all managers. With stories, examples, and vibrant activities for the reader to practice, this book shows any manager-new or seasoned-how to coach and mentor employees rather than hover over their shoulders and goad them into action. In this system, each employee's strengths are honored and honed in a climate of partnership and mutual goal-setting. Chandler, whose 100 Ways to Motivate Others is a best-selling favorite with small and large businesses alike, has called The Hands-Off Manager his "most original work to date" because it finally solves the age-old problem of getting the best performance out of people without frustrating yourself and them.

Steve Chandler has achieved the heights of public speaking and seminar training success, with 20-plus Fortune 500 clients. His successful work as a life coach and consultant led to an appearance on NBC’s Emmy-winning reality show, Starting Over. Chandler’s nine books, including 100 Ways to Motivate Yourself, 100 Ways to Motivate Others, and Reinventing Yourself, have been translated into more than 14 languages.
