No matter if you are the owner of a small startup, a supervisor or the head of a million dollar company, you know managing a group of people is one of the hardest jobs in the world. Just think about how hard it is to organize and satisfy a whole family on vacation. This should be a piece of cake compared to the challenges someone in a management position is facing. As a higher-up, you don't want to be the authoritarian bad guy everyone uses to point fingers at. Yet it is not a secret that the number 1 problem in management is poor communication. There is no magical formula to be a perfect manager. But there are proven strategies to improve the communication between you, your employees, clients and even the people above you. How many times have you ended up in a situation where you and one of your coworkers talked about the same topic, but interpreted the conversation completely different? ...maybe because your coworker doesn´t even want to understand you and abuses the given freedom. You are responsible for giving clear boundaries and communication. The problem is that generally, humans are lazy creatures. Once people discover loopholes to reduce their workload and ease through the day, they will abuse it. Unfortunately, if one person starts to take advantage of the opportunity, others will follow sooner or later. Therefore it is important to address issues instantly and follow a zero tolerance policy.

  • Ozzie and the Art Contest

    Dana Sullivan

    eBook (Sleeping Bear Press, Dec. 5, 2013)
    Ozzie loves to draw. Ozzie loves drawing and being an artist more than anything—even more than skateboarding! So when his teacher, Miss Cattywhompus, announces an art contest, Ozzie can’t wait to get started. He works really hard on his picture of a goat. He knows it will win first place. There is only one problem. Miss Cattywhompus didn’t ask the class to draw pictures of goats—the contest instructions say "Draw a Boat." Ozzie’s picture doesn’t win first place. And even though it does win honorable mention, he is devastated. How could he not win? He worked so hard. With a little help from Miss Cattywhompus, Ozzie comes to see that he, with his love of art, has won something far more important than a contest. In his picture book debut, Dana Sullivan has used his personal experience with artistic disappointment to create a warm, lovable character whose story will feel familiar to anyone who has followed his or her passion and hit an ever-so-slight bump in the road.
  • Sea Detail: A Naval Officer's Voyage

    William D Sullivan

    eBook (Fortis, Aug. 7, 2016)
    Covering almost four decades of naval service, SEA DETAIL is the story of one naval officer's career at sea and ashore. From the Vietnam War to the War on Terror, Admiral Sullivan was a participant in world events throughout the last quarter of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first. From his early days as a junior officer to his rise through the ranks to vice admiral, we watch history unfold through his eyes. As a young junior officer, he learns his trade, makes mistakes and grows through experiences, both good and bad. With his college sweetheart by his side, he balances the excitement of adventures at sea and in foreign ports and the ache of long separations from his family. His is a compelling story, rich with the experience of participating in world events and self-discovery as each assignment shapes his life and that of his family. His experiences as the commanding officer of two ships superbly detail the challenges and responsibilities our Navy places on ship captains. Achieving flag rank, his perspective changes from the narrow concentration of commanding a warship to the broader strategic challenges of national security. Admiral Sullivan's tale will carry you around the world, from the frozen climes north of the Arctic Circle to the brutal heat of the Persian Gulf. His experiences in the Pentagon, at the White House, in front of Congress and at NATO Headquarters provide uncanny insights into our nation's national security apparatus at work. This is a compelling story, one of the thousands that can be told by those who have served our country in uniform.

  • Lost Flowers: True Stories of the Moonshine King, Percy Flowers

    Perry D. Sullivan

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, May 3, 2013)
    Lost Flowers: True Stories of the Moonshine King, Percy Flowers is the never-before-told account of the notorious North Carolina bootlegger, as recalled by his son, Perry Sullivan. In the backwoods of Clayton, North Carolina, in the first half of the twentieth century, life may have been harsh, but whiskey could be found that was smooth, clear, and potent. Especially if it was the product of moonshine kingpin Joshua Percy Flowers, the legendary bootlegger who amassed a small fortune from the making of white lightning. Flowers’ son, Perry Sullivan, breaks decades of silence to share his firsthand account of the whiskey making, cockfighting, and foxhound-racing ways of this rough-hewn but surprisingly wise wheeler and dealer. Lost Flowers: True Stories of the Moonshine King, Percy Flowers offers a poignant glimpse into a world that time has all but forgotten, recounting both the painful experiences and abiding lessons learned from a hard-bitten man who boasted 200-proof authenticity. Reflective, gentle, and peppered with folksy humor, this colorful story set in the Deep South lays bare the author’s own secret as the unacknowledged son of the famous bootlegger. Told through the eyes of Perry Sullivan, the memoir is addressed to his own two sons, with the intention of passing on the wisdom he gleaned from his early years. The author ultimately managed to escape the shackles of the poverty stricken and racist ways of the era, and now shares his singular tale from a mature and educated viewpoint. Appealing to history buffs, lovers of Southern culture, and any parent who wants to impart sound wisdom to their children. Author Perry Sullivan’s account sheds light and gives credit to men who overcame hardships that would cripple most people. He ultimately seeks to bring closure and healing to those who have hidden in the shadows of societal secrets, and he offers inspiration and sage advice, Southern style.
